  > You have a responsibility to the group to contribute in an interesting way. Sure, that doesn't mean I've got to compose some social media hustle SEO keyword laden engagement over all else bullshit post. I'm on forums covering hobbies. It's not a job and I'm not hustling. I like to spell check and use at least passable grammar but I'm not writing a novel. Forums are a step up in formality over chat rooms. If everything's a hustle then everything is stressful and nothing is fun. I've got enough not-fun shit to deal with, I don't need to pull that into forum posts about Star Trek or whatever. I've been on web forums for a couple decades now, I'm well aware of how to contribute but thank's for the advice.

If you did that here or anywhere else self respecting, you’d be met with loneliness. We wouldn’t partake. I’m sure you know, as I do. There’s no pretty picture next to my name, no claims of success, but I can post here. I have good thoughts or ideas or I don’t, literally nothing else matters. Here, at least. But you already know I’m doing fan service to you.
