I've thought about making one but I don't know on what. I am generally more of a critic, cynic, and commentator, than someone who provides things. I'm pretty sure I'd get far too fed up far too quickly to actually be the owner of anything to bother - not to mention the time cost.

Like most people I just kind of float around from topic to topic. Being an internet nazi, working for free, does not interest me.

I just had an idea for a sub: /s/SaidItSpotlight You or anyone can make it.

The purpose:
To focus on things that may have been overlooked, like undervoted missed posts.
Or if that's not your thing, mybe to be a critic, cynic, and commentator on specific trends, subs, communities, posts, comments, policies, functions, or whatever.
Or both.
Or a focused collection of the best of the best of best, weekly, monthly, etc. presented in a newsletter for the normies and people who don't have the time to filter through it all like some of us do. It'd be a huge public service to many. Maybe you could even accept tributes for your efforts if people valued them enough.

Meh. I haven't really seen anything to be worth spotlighting, and I find any of these "meta subs" are really just about brigading. On Reddit or Voat or elsewhere, for the purpose of ensuring your "side" gets more votes and people you don't like get more downvotes. Here, just in proving upvotes, you accomplish the same thing.

I flatly, fundamentally, think any and all meta subs on any website should either not be allowed or be fundamentally locked out in some way as to prevent participants from crossing over.
