You know, I was considering unfollowing #askhubski and then insomniasexx went and posted this doozy. However, I still like it's becoming a very banal thing. Part of the problem with reposts is that everyone wants to be heard. Sure, you can link to a submission that has already been made...but a lot of people would rather just go ahead and keep posting content just so that they can be heard. Why bother contributing to something where the last comment was made 4 days ago when everybody can see what you have to say about instead. Maybe I'm just being cynical though.
1. I figured I'd try to add something positive to the tag than gripe about it. 1b. I use the word "gripe" with a lot hesitation. I actually quite like this conversation being had here. It has a healthy debate and various points of view and kleinbl00. All of which I love. But I think it's more productive to do than to talk. Lead by example. 2. I really hope we start to see more and more people commenting on old things and reviving threads. I think this is a holdover from reddit where a comment on an old thread have a 1% chance of being read. On forums, old threads always move to the top and I like that. Hopefully Hubskiers can start realizing that this feature is more like a forum and less like reddit. I always try to read and reply when I see a comment crop up on an old thread. I have also be actively clicking on comment threads I have already read over the course of the day to see and interact with the conversation as it develops. I'm no where near perfect but I'm working on it.
And as for me, I'd unfollowed #askhubski yesterday, having just started following it two days before. nowaypablo's odd little things were kind of inspiring. BUT then I gave up because, well, it was just so much bullshit. Except it's all just so much bullshit. The tip about forum v reddit is a good one. Hadn't thought of it like that. "bump" works here.
I tried my best a half year ago to ridicule askhubski out of existence, but I failed miserably and everyone answered the question like I was serious. Gave up after that.
BAHAHA! How did I miss that? That is glorious (and a little sad)
I think the problem with that is that you tied it back to music...which has a lot of passionate followers here on Hubski. I was this close to realizing what you were doing at the time, based off that comment.
I'm overly dense at times and constantly missing things like what you pulled. It's unfortunate really and I do catch some flak from it in real life.
I got it immediately and answered swiftly with some McCartney. I pictured you as the How Do You Sleep at Night John Lennon. It was a very well played jab, I still tip my hat. I was thinking of that post when we played tennis.
I think this bullshit you're referring to is kind of what bugs me that I try to explain in the rant i just tagged you in. if you have the energy, go find the good shit.
