Because people think “content” is what makes this kind of site great. In reality it’s discussion.
To be fair, it's both. There is no discussion without content, so having some content helps to kickstart discussion. But excessive botspam just makes it look even emptier.
Yes you need content, but without the discussion the content is just a firehose of random garbage.
...and without content, there isn't any discussion to start with.
like i said, i agree that healthy discussion is the best, but we need something to kickstart it.
Ofc! It’s what made the platform i Refuse Entusiastically During Dis Intervention To Discuss so great!
Luckily there are a lot more users than there were a couple of weeks ago.
