Not to poop on your parade but honestly, you are one of the biggest "thank you whores" on bhw

. You crave attention, that`s why you do all you that you do. How do I know? Well, your first replies to your own threads are usually like "xxx people saw this thread and only x people thank me? I`m so disappointed

" or "I will not share anymore if no one shows appreciation" . I`m just posting the truth, maybe this will awake you form your "Holier than thou" mindset. You`re an ok guy in my book, anyway, good luck!
Never really considered myself that, but if that's what you think, I'm not going to argue.
The reason I post that stuff, is because when I spend three hours recording a 10 minute podcast, or spend an hour posting a good tutorial with screenshots and all, and then 50 people download it without showing any appreciation whatsoever, it's fucking degrading. I'm not looking for anything in return, but why should I make contributions when everyone leeches it? How shitty would you feel if you made something really good for the community, and then nobody shows any appreciation when they go and download it? It takes 3 seconds to post a reply saying something like "thanks man, good podcast" or something similar.
Also, you mentioned me saying that I will not share anything else if people don't show appreciation. I do not recall saying that. I will always continue to make valuable posts, because I love this community and helping people for me is all the reward I need. However, I can't know who I help if I get no support in what I do. I could care less about how many people thank my posts. I want to be a reputable member here, and I want people to be able to come to me and ask questions.
Either way, I can't change how people act, and I probably won't change your perspective on me by replying with this. However, once you are able to look at a post and say "wow, he really wants me to click that thanks button", you will find drastic distinctions about the post that are miles away from the posts I make.
I'll mention this in my next podcast. If people don't want to show support, we'll see how long the podcasts last. I love doing them, but from what I am hearing from you, it makes it sound like the only reason they actually show support is because they don't want me to feel like an idiot.
Cheers.
