@angrylittlekitty@lemmy.one (comment link) had mentioned server costs from hosting duplicated content which was a great point.
I will also add, that people’s time is also a finite resource. And so we can all help by being respectful of the rules for each community (save moderators time) and additionally in communities where you are asking for help – avoid being a Help Vampire.
