I worry what upvoting you will do to your mental health.

On the one hand, it's nice to unearth some gems that didn't get the recognition they deserved. On the other hand, I don't want to encourage you to crawl through guano all day looking for a handful of diamonds that may or may not be found.

Obviously, an upvote would be a form of encouragement. I'm torn because I forsee you losing your mind chasing that encouragement, skipping real world duties to crawl through internet guano.

Would you feel better if I told you I'm not even judging my content based on upvoats, but based on engagement in all the previously dead threads?

No, I wouldn't. The thought of you spending the day on a single website searching for things to tickle my fancy while I'm out accomplishing my own goals puts knots in my stomach, no matter what your process might be.

The way I look at it, I'm just working out another muscle developing another skill. Most of my day is spent juggling these.
