A simple repost doesn't really add anything
Sometimes a quote post adds value and deserves a zap. The OP is always there to zap too.

This statement isn't accurate. Without algorithms, our reliance is on users reposting quality content. Quoting with added value is welcome, but if done solely for engagement without contributing, it's disreputable.
Upon re-reading, I disagree, since I find re-posting is often how I see posts I may otherwise miss, and also how I find great people to follow whom I would otherwise not know about.
Either one is kewl imo. Quote if you want some context or flare or commentary, straight repost if you just want to add visibility
