Why is YouTube clickbait so cringe?
I’ve made a few posts to arch forums and never faced issues.
Perhaps it helps that I work in enterprise tech support so I’m used to providing a lot of verbose info about a given issue I’m facing when requesting help. I also show what I’ve done in an attempt to resolve it.
Many of the so called toxic responses I’ve seen on there have been to posts that I would say don’t follow rules or just give very minimal info.
Trilby is also one of the best responders on there but have had a few blunt responses from others.
In the worst case, you go to a forum of Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro and
- You are kindly told to do research. This happens if the problem is too simple or common ie. caused by a recent upgrade and affecting many people.
- You are warned because you have been told to do something and you have replied without doing that.
If you get punished, more often than not it is deserved because the helpers don’t want to waste their time if help requester doesn’t cooperate. Meanwhile OP, are you the creator of the video?
meh… I have met a few true arch a-holes, however the arch wiki is a supremely useful info repository, so I generally give them a pass for their particular form of brain damage and hope the do the same for mine. as long as the arch wiki remains available, its a net wash. :-)
To be honest, a-holes are in every community. In about 30 years on internet I never find a community without some of them
Cringe lmao
Regardless of the click-baiting generalization in the title (that’s the YouTube game, folks) and the annoyed basement dwellers downvoting OP for it, there is some truth to it. Just like Stack Overflow community is similarly toxic.
So I’m an Arch user since 2013 and I don’t think I’m toxic. I am not really offended by this post but a bit worried. Why this hate against Arch (users)? I use Arch, btw is a meme that may has some truth, but like every good meme it is exaggerated. Arch users may have some pride in tunning Arch but most of the time they’re (in my expierence) helpful and inclusive. The OS itself fits right to my expectations: community driven, pragmatic, highly customizable. And I think the community is doing a lot for the overall Linux community with the Arch Wiki and for the Arch-based family with the AUR.
Edit: I didn’t seek help in the Arch fotum myself but read some threads there. Haven’t encountered any bm there.
