I love this forum, but it can be addicting.
For example, having somebody reply to your post or comment on your thread may release excessive levels of dopamine.
As such, some members don't put much thought into what they're writing, and end up commenting anything edgy to grab some attention and satiate their brains. Not that I oppose this style necessarily; it's just an observation.
I also noticed threads which have the most replies are the shitpost ones, or the ones about Chads and Stacies living their lives. The essays and thoughtful posts are usually ignored, probably because the average member has a short attention span (believe it or not, if you made it to this line you're part of the 1%; good on you).
As an ADHDcel, even I struggle to overcome impulsivity. Sometimes I'll write a few lines, delete them all and search for another thread wherein my two cents will be meaningful. I get that waking up to no replies can be demotivating, but for the sake of this forum we have to post effortfully and intelligently. Cool it with the shitposts and edgy comments in general.
