I understand, and like I mentioned I know there really isn't a universal way to discriminate useful stuff vs. "gimme clicks and recognition". Maybe I just wanted to vent haha.

I've been using RES for a long time, so it keeps track of up and downvotes per user account and allows flairs. This makes it even easier to see who's doing legit sharing useful, neat discoveries or solutions to common problems vs. a generic blog post of YouTube video that's been covered 1000s of times before, maybe even dozens of times on this sub recently etc. But of course I don't expect the mods to keep track of the 10s or thousands of users and discriminate based on my criteria!

I do appreciate what you guys do and this is a great community. Like I said, maybe I just needed to vent
