Some people are compelled to do good (and bad) things without rewards
I disagree with that, I believe we only ever do anything because we expect some kind of reward, but that reward can be a feeling, like of a job well done, or of helping the needy, doing something good, it makes us feel good.
Because people who do things that do not reward themselves, such as compulsively banging their head against walls, have some sort of defective mental processes.

I agree, but in the context of the OP, I don't.
SaidIt is free, our contributions are free, so are we and our interactions the customer or product?
Even headbangers' compulsions reward with actions. We get rewarded with shit from Chipit, socks, and these new turd burglars.

I'd want Chippy and Socks wherever we go tho. I think you're unduly harsh on them, both are very good contributors in their own way.

I just got called a shill yesterday on reddit. I was getting sick of all the GME dick sucking and pointed out that the company kinda sucked donkey balls. I think they're valid concerns but it was not well received.
I guess some people want to go to a sub and hear only good things. I think that's boring.

You should have said "ass balls".
If they want to hear only good things, tell them their mother was good last night.
