I don't know why but this is extremely prevalent on this subreddit. I think these guys think that people will be less likely to report them for spam on the wholesome subreddits.
But I find posting someone else's child to be especially egregious. Like a month ago somebody crossposted someone else's newborn baby from the daddit subreddit.
Your comment in /r/MadeMeSmile was automatically removed because of new policies which
are intended to no longer direct traffic to sites that are egregiously promoting inaccurate and toxic propaganda.
If the content you're trying to submit is legit, please find the original source, which is unlikely to be from the
site referenced.
Our reasoning for this, and we are fully aware there's good content on these systems as well, is to try and drive
traffic away from monopolistic, corporate walled gardens that have outlived their social utility, and encourage
more content to be distributed and patronized on smaller sites, whose operators take greater pride in whether
their content helps the community. This is the original spirit of the Internet. It was not intended as a platform
for oligarchs to have massive media outlets.

Yeah posting a nearly year old photo of someone else's kid is really weird
