FWIW, and I may be a bit elitist in saying this, but I believe there are two definitions of "original content" (OC). You're referring to stuff found online that hasn't been seen here before, and if that's the prevailing definition around here then fine. Not gonna rain on anyone's parade.
But my personal definition of OC is "stuff that you took yourself." That way it's 100% guaranteed to be original because nobody else has it unless you gave it to them first. So you can hopefully maybe understand my confusion when I see people talking about OC & then, come to find out, it's just stuff grabbed from another source & posted here.
Again, nothing wrong with that practice in and of itself. I've just always been of the opinion that if you didn't personally take the pics/vids with your own camera, it's therefore not original and shouldn't be labeled as such. My little contribution to "truth in advertising."
