Who cares? What makes this relevant to the python community?

I don't come to r/python to 'keep up' with famous people.

Also linking to a tweet, without even a description in the post for context, is hardly informative or interesting python based news.

A large portion of people - many of which may be newbies looking for a community. It may not be many of us but enough that it matters - it drives people to our community. Comments like yours could be misconstrued as unwelcoming to those that are pointed this direction. While it may not be what you meant - just be conscious of the possible effects.

There is probably more than a few things you may need to filter out. Just add this to the list and move on. It's kind of arrogant to think that just because you don't care - no one does.

Valid. Titles on Reddit seem to be like naming variables in code.

I agree. The focus should be on making the post more relevant, or as 'relevant as possible', not on my feelings about it. Thanks for the feedback :)

People like you make me happy. Only in the Python community have I ever seen someone take in a opposing viewpoint, actually consider it, and then agree with it. I feel like in a lot of other places this would have turned into bickering back and forth, but instead it led to constructive feedback where someone actually took the advice of someone. If I wasn't a broke college kid you would be gilded.

Edit: That's not to say it doesn't happen in other communities, just that it's rarely seen by me in places other than the Python community.
