> almost certain those who write these either are virgins, or write them for virgins. Come on. People like being liked. Even if it's superficially, in a way that wouldn't work if they get to know the "true you", it's fun to be respected. There are some caveats (most people don't want paparazzi-level fame, imposter syndrome sucks, etc.). I like being the local bash expert in my peer group, even though realistically it just means more work for me because I have to help other people with weird shell problems. Competency is respected, and people like being respected. Maybe you don't agree, but I don't think your opinions generalize.
