Why yes, I am stealing a popular aggregator account's tweet, albeit with a different picture — one that credits the photographer who took it. More than that, I may start doing this regularly because pictures are valuable and posting pictures without credit devalues photogs.
Sigh. I just got an angry DM about this. Listen, I agree — curation is labor and produces value, too. But here's the thing: you can curate and credit with almost no additional effort, and if anything it makes your work *more* valuable. So, no, I don't feel bad about this.
