Your intentions are good, but to be fair to the reddit crowd, the way your post was written reads a lot like an advertisement. Trying to convince others like this is typically unproductive - people will just go to wherever the content is. It’s up to all of us to generate that content and give them a reason to migrate out of their comfort zone.
