Uhm, maybe my phrasing wasn't the best. I meant how do I deal with that?
I've left other places on the internet because I don't like bots and fabricated engagement. So sometimes I struggle here a bit as well. (In various communities and for different reasons.) I'd rather have genuine conversations with people who asked a question because they'd like to read my answer. Or if I can help them or contribute something... I'm not really sure if this is what we do here or not.
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.
