But you're not quitting saidit, which is what you put in the title. Judging from the frequency of your comments you don't seem to be taking any different action. Question for you, Is not liking promotional clickbait titles deemed a "demotivational attitude"? Is demotivational even a word? Is it demotivational to point out something objective like, "Hey your titled clearly said one thing but that clearly isn't what you are saying in your actual post?" Is that called gaslighting or something? Either way, clickbait sucks and I don't know if it's necessarily required for self-promotion. Do what you do though my brother, I hope it works out for you. Don't take yourself too seriously though.

Why I'm Quitting SaidIt - Parts 1-5

Part 1 The Intro

Part 2 The Project Options I've Shared

Part 3 The Project Options Yet Unshared

Part 4 The Survey

It's a process.

Would you prefer any of these titles for the series:

  1. Why I'm Quitting SaidIt (been there done that).
  2. Why I'm Not Actually Quitting SaidIt.
  3. Why I'm Paradigm Shifting On SaidIt.
  4. Why I Want You To Help Determine My Destiny.
  5. What I'm doing next.
  6. All of the above.

You said you don't care, yet you cared enough to be negatively critical, repeatedly. That's your prerogative. I can understand your confusion, though others don't seem to share it, and I even understand your dislike of self-promotional shit. But this is the world we live in.

You could argue that clickbait is akin to gaslighting except I clearly explained myself and my motives, so it's not actually deceptive.

I state in my post (and even in the sidebox), that I'm here for feedback. You can look at the rest of my user profile history to see that I'm not as active as I was.

Some of the options are serious. Some are definitely not. If I do my /s/LeverMind Variety Show project then I'll most certainly not be taking myself seriously at all.
