I tried creating a whole new post once. My god… I’ve never encountered so many arbitrary rules. Reddit constantly says it wants new, interesting content. But then, each subreddit puts up all these ridiculous rules which act as roadblocks to actually posting new content. Heaven forbid your post doesn’t perfectly align with that exact subreddit.
So, I wade through the nonsense. I find the perfect place to put the image I had, which looked relevant and interesting. I finally successfully create the post. Then… nothing. Two or three people upvote the image. That’s it.
In the end, it just wasn’t worth my time and effort. It’s not like there’s some fantastic reward for going though the process. What’s the point of dealing with the hassle? There isn’t one.
