The most efficient way is wrong
- Scriptor 17y agoSounds like the bystander effect's influence on the web. A difference is that the requester is contacting others directly, not passively waiting for help. I guess the mentality of being a small part of a crowd is the most important factor in the effect.
- dryicerx 17y agoVery true. Specially asking for advice/mentoring in such a mass way is not just wrong, it's outright disrespectful.
- jason_tko 17y agoIn the person's defense, he was specifically looking to generate a panel of advisers, not a single mentor. This may have been successful, but I personally only felt motivated to reply when I received a direct message.
