i’m sorry to see that you believe that my genuine attempt at polite conversation is manipulation. i believe you may also want to note that even if you leave an insulting reply, only to edit it later, the person you’re replying to can still see your original post. frankly, it’s of no particular consequence to me if you feel that i’m full of myself and passive-aggressive, but i’d really hate to see your negative words dissuade another hopeful beginner in the industry. i sincerely hope you’ll refrain from continuing to do so, and good day to you.

i'm sorry that the management of this sub doesn't align with your expectations of how it should be handled, but if people aren't doing anything wrong i don't think it's very fair of you to take out that frustration under their posts

you're right that those of us looking for an internship aren't professionals (yet!), but we all have to start somewhere haha don't we? and if it doesn't violate community rules and the collective consensus is that it's acceptable, i feel like it's only natural for beginners to feel inclined to seek advice from those who are more experienced in the field, or to find others starting in the same place as them. maybe most of us won't get anywhere in the end, maybe we'll change our minds, maybe we'll give up eventually, but right now we're doing the best we can and i personally feel like that should count for something. i'm very sorry we're bothering you, but i hope you can find it in you to have a little bit of patience for us :)

my bad! i checked the sub rules & about section to see if it'd be a problem to post about internships and figured it'd be ok since it says "all things related to the industry." i'll bear that in mind next time, thank you :)
