Another day, another new Threads feature. Metas app will soon be rolling out a feature that allows users to re-share photos and videos to their timelines with credit to the original poster but without the original post attached.Once available, users will need to long press on a photo or video from their feed and select use media. Theyll then be able to draft a new post with the image of the clip attached, with a watermark from the original poster showing in the top left corner. This is a quick, easy way to add your creative takes to trending images and clips without quote posting, Threads chief Adam Mosseri wrote in a post.The feature is presumably meant to make it easier for people to reshare other users work with some credit for its original creator. Mosseri has fielded a number of complaints on Threads from frustrated users who see their work ripped off without credit. In a post last month, Mosseri said that Meta was trying to shift more distribution from aggregators to creators on both Instagram and Threads, though he acknowledged it can be very difficult to do so when the original post was lifted from a non Meta-owned platform. On Instagram, the company recently tweaked its algorithm in an attempt to boost creators over aggregators.Judging by some of the reactions to Threads latest update, however, a number of creators are still unhappy with Metas approach. It just seems like blatant content theft, one photographer replied. Quoting the post is a far more effective way of sharing someone's content with your own comments while crediting the creator, another user said.In a separate post, Meta noted that individual creators are able to disable media reuse in their apps settings, so it is possible to block your posts from being shared this way. (There are also settings to prevent others from quote posting entirely.) However, for those worried about accounts straight up ripping off their posts in the interest of engagement farming, theres still little any user can do to prevent less scrupulous accounts from copying their content with screenshots or other means.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/threads-new-use-media-feature-is-its-latest-attempt-to-fight-stolen-memes-and-engagement-farming-224119483.html?src=rss
