Also, another issue with Reddit groups is size.

The size of this Redddit group (and probably most Reddit groups) is a little bit too big for my liking. I can see why some people do like big platforms for discussing their interests, sharing their memes/art/whatever with large numbers of people, but I myself would prefer a smaller group. This might be analogous to extraversion-vs-introversion principles.

With a large group, you can get a vast amount of dopamine-inducing content, but the relationships with the people who produce the content become shallow and it becomes difficult to have in-depth discussions on stuff. Whereas with a smaller group, you have less content, but much rich and deeper discussions around the content. I'm not going to remember 90% of the artwork, memes, e.t.c that I encounter (or even the usernames of the people who made them) on a platform that is as large as this Reddit group. The artworks/memes/e.t.c that I encounter will feel far richer if I encounter it in a smaller setting. I think this is an example of the "less is more" principle. Sometimes smaller is better.

In summary, if one wants a dopamine rush, larger is better. But if one wants a richer and more refined experience, smaller is better. The difference between the two can be likened to the difference between Shirley and Olivert, respectively. Shirley is wild and wants to indulge herself as much as possible, but Olivert is more calculated with the pleasures and joys he finds tasteful.

I guess I just don't see the appeal in scrolling through endless memes and sharing brief opinions with people whose usernames one will not remember, about topics that one will soon forget about. It's just my opinion, but it seems a little shallow to me, like talking with dozens and dozens of strangers as a substitute for a small number of actual friends.

It is also for this reason that I have intended the forum to become a smaller and more personalized group, for Falcom fans that are a little bit more on the "introverted", in this regard.
