Sometimes I can’t tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

    It’d be really meta if I had posted this to bait people into engagement… But I don’t think I did. I’d like to know, so it’s just meta on one level. 😅

      I was always under the impression that people made those posts because they wanted to announce to the world what they think the best of whatever thing it was, is, and why their opinion of said thing is the most correct. And that they didn’t really care what other people wrote after that in the comments. But that could just be my cynicism.

        Thanks, that’s thoughtful. I definitely need to factor that in (more) when speculating about other people’s motivations on the internet 😅 But yeah, I occasionally do it, too.
