What motivates you to post content on this site?

It can't possibly be boredom. It takes effort to think of what you want to post, to write out content, to insert pictures and videos, to potentially instigate a lengthy argument for controversial content. The Internet is full of things you can enjoy passively if you wish to alleviate boredom. It's also full of sites that are much more engaging than this one. 

Why then do you ask the questions you ask? Post the blogs that you post? Give the meaningless answers that you do? What is your objective?

    It's the only place I know of where nobody can interrupt me.

    It's the only place I know of where nobody demands "sources".
    It is one of the few places where other members don't seem to be trying to collect ammunition to use against me.

    It's one of the few places I know of where nobody can downvote me if they disagree. I hung out with the Christian group at reddit.com for a while and noticed that I was starting to get messages saying "You are doing that too much. Wait a few minutes and post again." It turns out that you get downvoted every time you post bible verses in a Christian group. When your downvotes add up, your posting privileges are curtailed.

  • That's really curious. Did the group say why?
