Yeah they want the attention but they don't want take the required steps to get that attentions. Sometimes it helps to reflect on our values. Yes you might get offended at the loud mouths that crave attention all the time but that doesn't mean there isn't some value in that activity. Putting yourself out there and selling yourself is important. We all have something to offer the world. The way to maximize that is to get Infront of people and let them know what we have to offer.

> but they don't want take the required steps to get that attentions

Yes, that's definitely right. As long as there is not something extremely unfair, I am very polite and don't want to offend anyone. I personally feel offended by let's call it "usual marketing techniques". They try to blend, discredit other's and so on. That's not me. In the current example with the GH app, it's also more complaining about the Reddit algorithm, but that one is also logically, like said, that someone with higher reputation get's more attention and back on: I don't want to post useless stuff. I only write, when I have something to say. Good example is a German news portal: There is a limit of 50 comments you need to write before you are allowed to post links. It's not about, if that is a good idea or not, my point is: It took me 9 years for this. Because I only wrote a comment, when I thought this has really value for others. So again, my reputation on this board is from an algorithm perspective really bad. Same may go for Reddit.
