    Dear Faye, thanks for sharing because I feel the same way and have the same type of anxiety when it comes to posting. Many times I finish a draft and then delete it instead of posting because I think “who cares? Someone else said something similar.”

    But your post has motivated me to contribute more. Thanks!

      I spent 12 years of my life reading walls of text on Reddit because I knew they were authentic pieces of someone else’s life they were sharing on the internet.

      The most interesting posts are the ones that go in depth on some random niche topic that you’d expect no one to care about. Be it an Indie game with 5 players, or a random reptilian species with a cool ability.

      So yes, I care! I doubt I’m alone in that regard. Please do post your thoughts 😁

      Sidenote: this was before the era of ChatGPT, but I highly doubt a significant number of people are going to intentionally waste others’ time by posting ChatGPT generated content.
