Answer: Not everyone sees every post. There are new Redditors joining everyday. Plus, even if you’ve been on Reddit for years, it’s nearly impossible to see every post. So, you may miss it the first time but see it the second or third.

Also, some people like to see reposts. I saw one just yesterday where someone commented they would upvote everytime they see it just because they like it that much.
