    You know how I joined reddit? None of the reasons everyone else might have, it just looked like a cool place. No one uses it where I live, except a few hundred people.

    That being said, this was after years and years of me leeching off of comments on reddit. So, I thought I’d give the community something back… it’s only fair. I come from the forum scene, that’s how forums work. And let’s be honest, no matter how much we started hating a place, we never did this back in the day. Why? The info shared in those posts is probably more valuable than whatever we’re trying to achieve by doing this.

    Of course, it’s your choice, your account. I’m just saying that I think it’s selfish and mean and that I would never do it. The free flow of info is what keeps the net going. You start tempering with that and you’re just fueling more users into mass media (if everyone did this, users can’t find any info about anything they’re troubleshooting and just return to doomscrolling on FB/IG/Twitter).

    Me as well. I’ve been in situations where complete strangers online have answered and helped me so many times regarding problems I’ve had, so I’ve tried to return the favor through reddit and other platforms. I have no intention of doing this, this is just… mean IMO. You open the link in hope of finding an answer and you run into… this 😒.
