WATCH: Gentleman recovers old drone using new drone

I like that it’s “YouTuber” Harrisen Howes, and the apparent source is (YouTube).

Why do BoingBoing posts so rarely credit Reddit when it’s obvious that’s where they saw something? Is it that Reddit’s a bad word now, or that they want to make it look like the stumbled on it themselves (I just happened to be subscribed to “YouTuber” Harrisen Howes, who has posted exactly one YouTube video?).

I don’t mind the reposting at all — God knows we don’t need to read Reddit every day — but blogs across the web are notoriously poor at properly citing the original source, or eliding where they saw something. I’m just confused as to why.

(NB, this isn’t against Andrea James, who posts tons of original content, this is Boing Boing in general.)
