I get it
This post is mostly a rant so don't worry yourself too much about it. But I just wanted to say I understand now.
About a week ago, I decided to try and fix my life after my partner confessed that she'd put us in major debt and had been planning on ending her life. In what felt like no time at all, I was in the deep end of a financial crisis, I'm finding out that our rent was being spent on the side AND I had to be the supporting partner to watch over this woman to make sure she didn't take a big step off of a short ledge. In an attempt to do something, I asked chatgpt for business ideas and a suggestion was to advertise my services on Reddit, where I stumbled across this Subreddit. I thought "what the heck" and put up a post and crossed my fingers. I didn't get any help....but I wanted to say I GET it.
In the time since I put my post up, I went through other SubReddits and the posts in this one and I just had to say, I understand why y'all are frustrated. In a short period of time, I've come across so many posters that are clearly taking advantage of people (looking at you @Master_Leader_8027) and I see how it's put people off of helping others! These SubReddits are filled with people genuinely looking to help and people who desperately could use help.....but it's buried under so much noise that working to clear it all up is disheartening.
I don't know what can be done to fix it but I wanted to say to the givers, Thank You for everything you did to build this subreddit. It may not seem like it anymore, but your work did help people when, more often than not, their own circles didn't step up.
To those still waiting for assistance, it might not seem like it but there is still hope! You are stronger than what's hurting you (it sounds cliché, I know. But it's better to believe that than tell yourself you're a lost cause because you aren't)
And to those that cheated and stole from the people in here, GET BENT!
