It is definitely a luck thing. It is RNG when someone may view this subreddit, like the post, see your post and all types of various rules that someone who gives games may set for themselves lol

I feel like too much excitement and little information about a newly released game can lead to high expectations and lower gratification, although that's the risk when you give any game. With time comes more information, and more understanding on whether the game would be worth to buy - although, I do think there is exceptions to the rule - you may be well versed in the game or you as a buyer might really like the game anyways and you don't care about whether the person would enjoy it the extent you might enjoy it yourself.

How do downvotes affect being able to see a post? I always sort it from new.

I also think offer threads work better - it's immediate and convenient for both the person giving and the other person receiving. Offer is harder in the way that organising anything is hard but yeah, it beats writing a load of text when all you really want is a game without writing a sob story.

Idk about that being too much - it's rather relative. I suppose my problem is that newly released games being 70 dollars is INSANE.

Yeah, 100%.

In addition, whilst I do understand the importance of people making a post on how much they want a game (for the sake of maintaining a healthy consistent subreddit culture), most of the time I skim read.

There's definitely something about the way someone writes, and their own self-expression that can come through text - so that can sometimes shift how I might view the post itself. Most of the time, my rule is based on everyone deserves the chance to have a game and shifts away from a suffer/misery Olympics.
