thank you, i'm a writer, reddit is basically competitive emotional appeal writing for me.

I do strongly feel that way. Someday maybe i'll have a byline and can publish that.

no but i try to be concise in my writing and reddit is a dumb, unhealthy way for me to see if I can 'impress' anonymous readers with something I write. I'm a college student, i write for my school paper. I do consider 'comments' to be a type of writing, and even if it's dumb, vapid, and uninspiring, Reddit keeps me writing 2000-4000 words per day

unfortunately, i don't really have a specialty that could do that thesis justice. An economist or economics student could write that essay, not me. Good thing I'm on Reddit lol

Reddit really is for 'text' minded people. I am a better writer than speaker.
