I Talked About Worker Safety on Reddit… and Got Called a Marketer
Recently, I posted about workplace safety, OSHA citations, and how companies keep paying massive fines instead of investing in proper compliance systems.
I thought people would discuss the actual problem.
Instead, the comments became:
“Stop your advertising crap.”
Funny thing is - every platform today runs on promotion, visibility, and marketing. People promote themselves daily through selfies, startups, opinions, and content. But the moment you discuss a real industrial problem, suddenly it becomes “spam.”
One competitor even researched my LinkedIn profile to discredit the post, rather than discussing the issue itself.
That experience taught me something:
When you try solving real problems, people won’t always attack your idea. Sometimes they attack your visibility.
And honestly, that says a lot about the internet today.
