Hey NudesRus, When someone uses the repost button to share your content, the purpose is to increase your exposure. Your post will appear on their profile, attracting their followers to your profile to view the original post.

This boosts your visibility, as those who see the repost are likely to visit your profile to see more of your content. This way, you gain the actual views as a reward for creating high-quality content, since people who discover it through someone else’s profile will be directed to yours.

While your point about requiring an upvote before allowing a repost is valid and acknowledges the effort that goes into creating original content, I believe that forcing someone to upvote content might not be the best approach. A repost itself is already a reward to the creator as it increases their exposure and directs more traffic to their profile.

or did I misunderstand your concern?
