Lately, I am just making well though out and reasonable posts. They get a couple likes but zero replies. Am I doing something right or something wrong?

This is why I stopped using Reddit a few years ago - because its structure trains you to make the comment that will spark the most reaction, instead of the reasonable response.

Oh yeah, I stay away from reddit. Its great if you have a simple question to get an answer for, its absolute garbage for having a discussion.

I know right? I'd be the least influential influencer.

The internet is a strange place. I once uploaded a video on DVD region codes because I like martial arts movies and region codes are a big hurdle to watching them if you pick up a bluray or DVD in a different place. The aim was to talk about my opinion on region codes. It got some of the worst comments in my youtube channel history. There weren't even that many of them, but the half dozen or so that I remember were variations of "Thanks for wasting my time A hole". I guess they were expecting me to explain how to jail break a DVD player to get around region codes (I did mention jail breaking but I didn't want to get into the details of it, and even if I did, it is unique to every player so I wouldn't have been able to give anyone instructions on the procedure).

The problem with doing that is, unless you have something that someone is going to take offense over, sometimes all you can do is nod your head. Unless you disagree, or think it needs enlargement, there's often not much to say. Its one of the reasons most discussion is so laden with disagreement.

I mean, I am hoping somebody will expand on the idea and discuss it from a myriad of perspectives to make for an interesting discussion. Though, folks seem more intent on taking a position over interests these days. Thats not an EN World thing, or a gamer thing, its an entire internets thing.

Goodness. I sure hope nobody pulls a muscle with all that patting themselves on their own backs going on.

But did you notice how everyone liked the new Monk?
You're welcome. I worked really hard for that.
