Me as well. One of the reasons why I will never do this.

You know how I joined reddit? None of the reasons everyone else might have, it just looked like a cool place. No one uses it where I live, except a few hundred people.
That being said, this was after years and years of me leeching off of comments on reddit. So, I thought I'd give the community something back... it's only fair. I come from the forum scene, that's how forums work. And let's be honest, no matter how much we started hating a place, we never did this back in the day. Why? The info shared in those posts is probably more valuable than whatever we're trying to achieve by doing this.
Of course, it's your choice, your account. I'm just saying that I think it's selfish and mean and that I would never do it. The free flow of info is what keeps the net going. You start tempering with that and you're just fueling more users into mass media (if everyone did this, users can't find any info about anything they're troubleshooting and just return to doomscrolling on FB/IG/Twitter).
I never got paid for anything either, but neither did everyone else that helped me over the years.
Of course, the choice is yours, but it's not OK IMO.
Reasons don't fix the issue - the answer is mising.
("CAT" from "Caterpillar" - yeah, they make phones)
Not really, they're just rebranded Chinese no name phones.
Still, yes, they are good.
You're neglecting the fact that fediverse tube instances can't possibly take the load and the volume of videos being uploaded on YT. That is why almost none of them have open registrations, only admin approved registrations (you apply, than the admin chooses whether to approve or deny your application).
That doesn't mean his strategy and approach is good.
Is it normal that I find the second image arousing?
Me as well. I've been in situations where complete strangers online have answered and helped me so many times regarding problems I've had, so I've tried to return the favor through reddit and other platforms. I have no intention of doing this, this is just... mean IMO. You open the link in hope of finding an answer and you run into... this 😒.
By all means, NSFW jokes are the best IMO 😂.
Except the ones with babies... I used to think they were funny, but now I have a kid and... no, they're not funny any more...
Sure, I use them, but I have a good reason why I started using them. I lost my plastic 3 times in one year. I have a small kid, he's glued to me, whether it be the market or the playground, doesn't matter, he's always with me. He distracts me all the time (aways asking questions), so I just forget to take my plastic sometimes 🤷.
So, even though I was against it, I decided to use Google Pay (now Wallet). I rarely forget my phone (only when I leave home, so it's at home), plus it's big and bulky, you notice it missing sooner than a piece of plastic.
If there are any FOSS alternatives, I'd gladly use them, but as far as I know, there are none 🤷.
That won't make it easier to find when troubleshooting for a problem online. And your profile is tied to conversations in threads, simply archiving your posts is just a blob of useless data with no context.
