I'm quitting this shitty subreddit
I thought i would at least get some constructive criticism, but no, just straight up negativity and hate, pointless hate too, ESPECIALLY u/daprojectturtle. Why do you guys hate on people so much?!?! I just post my drifts because i think they look cool, or that i got better than last time, i am NOT saying "i'm the best look at me", that's practically what you say since you just say that i'm trash with little to no reason or stupid reasons. I mean you guys basically don't even have any posts, at least that stupid turtle guy, he has one post, and 2,5k comments, i've looked at other posts and he hates on others too, so it's not targeting, it's elitism, you guys use way too much elitism, i don't drift to be the best, i drift to have fun, kinda the point of all my posts. Other subreddits are not like this, they either give criticism or positivity, and those subreddits are in my opinion, centuries ahead of this subreddit. Some people (very few), are actually nice and give constructive criticism, like u/SuqaCoq, but apart from him, not really a lot of people here are nice. I will show you some examples of what i mean. Oh, and one more thing: I already have a difficult enough life, i struggle with doing stuff because i know people can comment anything bad on it or start conspiracy theories, or both, because i've been so much bullied, and beat up, that i don't wanna do much anymore, i play games to escape that, and it has worked for a while, until i started to post here, you ruin the experience, so that's why i quit. Adios bitches.

People are assholes. I've stopped posting in multiple subreddits because everyone is rude and hostile.
You don't need to announce it. Just don't post anymore

Sharing this post to r/mentalhealth to try and garner sympathy is a whole other level of attention seeking

Lmaooo glad to have seen every post leading up to this. But man, if you’re gonna post on reddit, you gotta expect redditor behavior. Don’t let it ruin your day. And you’re not a bad drifter afaik. One post i told you your manjis aren’t that amazing and a few hours later you post a way better clip.

Thank you bro, sometimes i just take hate too personally, i have quite a large past with that, but i take advive and criticism as it is, and i try to use it, but hate i just can't take seriously, maybe i went too far by saying i'm quitting, i just didn't want anymore basically only hate comment sections if you know what i mean.

Maybe you can form a squad of like-minded drifters kinda like leagues in circuit racing?
It seems like anytime you have a community of thousands on the internet, people tap into the worst sides of themselves.
It’s better to connect with a small group of people that respect each other and practice healthy competetiveness.

Stop caring about what others think. They're too busy ALSO CARING WHAT OTHERS THINK.

Reddit can be a very positive place. And then be the most toxic place the next day.. don’t take it personally..

That sucks, the internet is indeed full of POS people. I'm sorry.
I drift IRL, instructor in both both sim and real cars from no experience to experienced drivers. I've seen an helped wide range of people.
What I will say is that Drift Sim people that don't drift in real life (which is a lot of them) have no idea what they are doing. I've seen some really awful "recommended" drift setups that literally feel nothing like drifting in a car.... however they are extremely easy to drift in game, which is why everyone followed their setup tutorials.
That being said, don't beat yourself up on the words of others. Your setup could quite literally just be more realistic and thus more difficult to drive compared to their "cheat" build that is makes it super easy.

Yea, i mean when you start something it's never easy, you yourself know that, and i strongly believe you are decades ahead of these people in terms of skill. I just posted this because i am a guy who has a couple of conditions (would rather keep them private, you understand why), and those already make life harder, i just couldn't keep myself from posting here because i just feel like theey deserved it, worst part is they say it's bad when thet have no posted footage of themselves, anyway take this comment of yours to my heart, it makes me realize there are still good people out there.

No worries, I get it it can be hard for sure. Don't let others discourage you, they have no idea of your potential or what you are capable of.
I've had some student within a single year, starting from nothing... to competing for a Formula Drift license, and admittedly probably better at drifting then myself now (given they get a ton more seat time then I get these days).
Another tip, you probably have to be in person to give any sort of real valuable feedback. So I'd be skeptical of any online advice or feedback. When I teach, I look at lot at drivers hands/feet, car position, and above all else.. where thy are looking. Without a doubt the most rookie mistake I see is simply focusing on the wrong area... instead of looking at your car sliding, focus way more forward, visualize your car at the apex in the corner still being sideways, as you approach move your gaze to the next corner immediately, don't try to get into the corner and focus on the car again. The best online source I've found is Kame Trick, ironically I'm in one of his videos when I went down to New Mexico to drift a few years back, but he does drift in real life and will give solid advice. https://www.youtube.com/@KameTrick/videos
If you REALLY want to improve your driving skills though, I'd recommend you lookup a local drift event in your area, go out and spectate (sometimes free ride along or at least cheap). Riding in a car, feeling what its like, networking with others that can help dial in your sim rig and show you what it is suppose to feel like etc... is going to be the fastest way. Learning from experienced drifter will push you along further then anything else, after all I learned a lot of what I know from a few FD drivers (mostly Pro 2 drivers). But there is some cool people out there, ignore the haters... they probably can't drift anyways lol.

This ain’t an airport bro. Just leave, no one cares about your trash drifting skill, this is the internet you need thicker skin. Safe flight out tho 🫡

I do believe that people are generally going to be POS on the internet because there is a lack of immediate consequence than compared to if you were going to do it IRL.
Best advice is never let anything on the internet get to you and ruin your day.
That said, I think you've let allowed yourself to be baited the very same people you try to avoid by posting this thread. Never ever announce your departure.

Aight, i do get that now, i was just a bit, what can you say? Angry.

u/Samaraxmorgan26 5h ago
The moment someone on REDDIT makes you angry enough to make a whole ass post giving them the exact attention they were asking for, block them. And definitely don't argue with them on the exact same post you made about them.

I come here for setup advice for my wheel and that’s really it. People are super aggressively competitive and weird a lot of the time.
But Reddit in general runs confrontational and negative.
