100% agree with this. We should have the courtesy to ask the author for permission before spreading their work. They should be aware it was posted here in case they would like to respond to comments or if they need to make edits.

That’s exactly what Reddit used to do.
I feel like memes are made and meant to be shared hence the name. I feel a hobby drama post is more like a blog post to a community they are a member of. They are sharing it with members of that community and not intentionally sharing it with other communities. I also think asking for permission seems like a good middle ground between reposting all hobby drama posts from Reddit and banning all reposts.
