Starting as a complete newbie on this platform is harsh. It's not even that you're getting hate or anything, it's just the fact that you're being ignored. Your thoughts and feelings are just not being read, and that's a really bad feeling for us new guys.
I personally took some effort to write 2 rather valuable posts, and I got like 5 upvotes in total, 2 of them being my one. After that, I wrote an "introduceyourself" post, and guess what? I got 15 upvotes. How does this make sense? I did nothing but sharing an image of myself and stating my name. That's worth more than my thoughts about serious topics?
