: Does anyone ever actually read and appreciate the thoughtful responses I post to the never ending polls and captions? Sometimes (like now, for instance) I just think I'm wasting valuable neural firings. Comments?
What the tech bubble finally taught the world:
If you're doing anything on the net, you've gotta do it for the love.
Accept that anything you've done online shall be as lasting as a wet fart in a tornado... and maybe you'll accidentally stumble into one of those rare situations of deserved praise but even then it's mainly luck.
It's a lot like falling in love, actually. It can't be done with the intention of doing it.
Rid yourself of intention, my long-named friend.
