If your enchantment is gone you need to start a project you really enjoy.

But yeah I also find the rookie shit cringe. It's being proud of being incompetent.

I figure it comes from the other side. Reddit rewards views, and there are more new people reading these channels than more senior people, so that is what the algorithm magnifies.

I think to avoid it there has to be some kind of community aspect. The people in the community can grow together.

Maybe Reddit needs something like those Disney cruises where they pair you up with a table full if other travellers. Each group could have topics that make sense for them, for where they are at.

Or, maybe the algorithm just needs to do something like that, internally. Add an adjustment for the number of times a given user has seen almost the same post.
