Well, there should be a credit to the source of a photo of it is from a copyrighted source like Getty or AP or such. There should be a credit to the source of the broadcast the footage came from if it is not hosted through a secondary source like youtube or twitter. An attribution to a poster on a discussion board or reddit is a new one, seeing as the information is likely not primary source in the first place, nor is there a claim to copyright. Interesting concept and worthy of discussion/exploration.
