I made 2 separate posts into 2 relatively dead communities, and despite getting a decent amount of traction (relative), the first 2 comments in each were 100% negative towards the content.
None of the commenters had ever posted content to the respective communities.
Content deleted: c’ya!
People want content but don’t realize how annoying it can be to post things: especially things that you took time to make. You have to have a pretty thick skin, and tbh no one can blame you for thinking its not worth it.
