Don't delete this post. Just don't post timesuck traps. Also, don't beat yourself up about it. This is a learning experience for all, myself included. I reacted without watching, in part because it was "hot".

Watching some Reddit top 10 things you didn't know type show (I'd posted it this week) I learned that the top votes are usually among the first posts. You can have a hundred comments but few folks read far enough to find the real goldstar answers to upvote them, so usually you get sufficiently decent but not great answers at the top.

Fortunately SaidIt doesn't have this over population problem ;).
