There's a simple reason why reposts will always happen, never stop: different people have seen different things. Your reposts are other people's never-seen-before content.

To be fair, I purposely didn't do a deep dive on xkcd so that whenever I did see a related post in the comments, it was almost always fresh to me. I figured this was true of a lot of people online.
