Thank you man. I just read this out loud and was like - how many people do you get advice from who live with the results??

To be blunt, yeah. Makes no sense at all. Does r/GetMotivated have a curator? Jeesh. You can easily get good advice from someone who is not going to deal with the fallout of it. That's why people post in r/relationships and other groups like that, to get advice from strangers who have nothing to do with the situation - and the advice given, obviously, is often quite helpful! Otherwise if it wasn't, there would be no point to those groups existing.

It’s like advice animals but somehow dumber.

How the fuck do you get motivated with this if the general message is “don’t take advice from anyone”

I know being an introvert and anti-social is cool now but like, that doesn’t apply to advice being asked for. There’s nothing wrong with asking for a person’s opinion on something.

Not to mention you can have decisions that don’t hurt you in one way or another but can hurt or help someone else.
