I mainly wish people would add a little something if they did that. Some kind of context, or a particular bit of the articles they share that makes it significant to them, etc. Basically anything that would make it seem like a human posted and not a repost bot.

I pull a lot of my content from Facebook since most sources are photography hobbyists and charities, which just use that as a free quick and easy platform to reach the most eyes so they can focus on making content. But I try to contextualize what is going on in photos, can provide background to the species or the procedure being done, and answer any questions about things, which I feel is a good value add service by me sharing it here.

I will post things from my personal work too, but the animal thing isn’t my day job, so other than my weekly clinic shift or vacations, there’s only so many opportunities I get to shoot my own owl photos! 😜 But I still get to bring a lot of daily joy to people that won’t touch those other platforms, and I add a lot of research and experience they wouldn’t get by going to the original source.

There is still use being a straight content curator, but I think it’s just really going the extra mile by adding something to it yourself that can enhance it.
