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?

    even if the person who posted the starter thread isn’t interested you can be assured that others opening the thread are at least a bit interested.

      Thanks. I feel that’s somehow part of the answer. But it still leaves a bad taste for me. Like I’ve been played. And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work. I’ll take 3mins to write an answer and no one picks up on it or votes, so it feels like I wrote it for the void or a bot.
