Does anyone else feel like the bare minimum is being rewarded these days with higher and higher quality? And not just in terms of online forums either, I feel like life in general is becoming this way as well. Thoughts?

Yes. Responding to this is taking a lot of effort, and I don't like it.

Its an unfortunate part of the internet now. No way to avoid it anymore.

I think it’s mostly the result of social media and doomscrolling — people can’t focus anymore, they want everything right away, they don’t try to think for themselves.

I’ve made several long and detailed guide/tutorial threads, but they get very few replies compared to the number of views. People don’t even bother responding anymore — they’re leeches.

The spirit and culture of sharing in hacking is slowly dying in a world where everyone is becoming more and more individualistic.

I think the world has become extremely fast-paced so you need to make the lower possible effort to do something so you can quickly move to the next one.

So I'm not sure if "Low effort threads = high effort responses" stands

Shoot. Facebook suggests replies for you so that you don't even have to even attempt to think anymore. Where is that feature here? 🤭

If something takes more effort than a swipe, I feel like most people pass on

Low effort threads = low effort replies.

High effort threads = no responses

Yeah sure
And social media is full of garbage that earn money from nothing literally

[Headspace]

I agree with you, but the more important question is how do we fix it?

Aside from message boards, should we end participation trophies and rewarding mediocrity? Methinks this is a cultural/generational issue rather than some localized problem.
