Care to clarify what is objectively bad? Like, an example

I think Win10 already is everything what I need.

I have gotten a small feel of 11 from my girlfriend’s laptop - it feels alright.

But I think I won’t have reasons to upgrade. I haven’t studied 11 at all so I don’t even know am I missing something lol

I think I’m gonna disagree with the fandom dying thing.

From a system’s perspective - if it exist for a reason, for someone to use it, and then they stop using it and go away, leaving it alone without any use, I’d see that system being abandoned, lost, or dead.

Then again - someone can come back to it and turn it “alive” or active again!

When I don’t find information through a search engine, I go asking it from people themselves.

Discord is an easy solution for me to find this information at that point. Much easier than generating yet another user account in a website I might use once in my life, while I already use discord a lot.
By the way - you can search for messages you have sent and for messages that were pointed directly to you. Makes delving into old conversations much easier.

Of course Telegram and other services like that can help too.

Maybe the devs love keeping answering same questions over Discord? =D

I don’t remember when I watched the telly at home previously. Most of my entertainment are games and then some YouTube and movies not so often (lurking in friend’s online streaming services or googling “watch x for free”).

Stopped watching the television when too many ads erupted even between the movies that were my last interest in this service.

Most of my telly shows I see nowadays are at a friend’s place, and I’m every time annoyed about the amount of ads.

I bought a cat game where you need to find and click 100 of them! They had cute noises and every single cat was named!

Erm.

I recall a study about kids under a specific age that cannot get scared of looking at pictures of demons and other horror stuff because they don’t know yet what your everyday default person looks like.

So I’d argue that even people need to get accustomed to a thing before they could recognise or have an opinion about anything.

What’s un-seekable

So only shorts are delivered? Who not “normal” videos as well/instead?

I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.

I was pretty shook over one book I read, plunging me into sadness for about a week.
I listened at sad piano music and made many custom pictures with this website using the book (cover) themed art 😂

I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.

I’m friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when I’m off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.

Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasn’t the case - it was just a prank.

…but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.

I haven’t tried but -

I once asked what would be a real life equivalent of those small chores you find in video games that earn you a little gold.
Someone answered that driving people around.

Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.

Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I haven’t met many people in this “they suck”-mold of yours. The contrary however…

“I want to train your child to become the ULTIMATE CONTENT CREATORRR”

What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?

Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.

I think we should cherish commenting too.

Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)
