That's an interesting take... but I think I'm in disagreement here. Plagiarizing yourself isn't really a thing. When you consider entire bodies of work and where those creative minds drew inspiration it puts this in an even more stark light.
But just to keep this comment on point I'll stick to your statement:
Something that not a lot of people realize and something to keep in mind is that a person can plagiarize themselves.
Artists and creative people the world over build on bodies of work that they have compiled during the course of their lives. It's the creative innovative process (not to mention HOW talent comes to be in the 1st place!) and so I believe that this conversation needs this as a backdrop for context.
Here's an example of what I am talking about. The producer for the Documentary "Everything is a Remix" is now REMIXING his original content about REMIXING. Check it out! 🙃
annnnnd here's part 2!
With this as contex now I think we con constructively handle the objects our minds create... wouldn't you say @leaky20?
I'll also tag @jaki01 as he is here in the mix!
AND I'll link to the original author of this post since this is... HIS POST!

The conversation evolved and I later pointed out my bias towards the subject of plagiarism and stated that I don't think the plagiarism thing applies to social media or low stakes endeavors. In academics and scientific research you can definitely plagiarize yourself though, which is where my mind went in the begining when this came up. For instance, in research if you used information from a previous study you did you would have to site yourself and your previous research.
