I always forget that reading comprehension of the general public is LOW.

every so once in a while I'll ask questions about my crafts and hobbies on social media like reddit or Facebook groups (lots of old timey crafters on there) and get useless replies.

So many of them clearly demonstrate a complete lack of understanding what the post was about and the questions asked. Just like those people who leave reviews on Amazon that says "I don't know if it's good or not." or yelp reviews that are like "didn't eat here. laundromat needs quarters."

uggghhh. okay. rant over.

no more asking the Internet for answers. I'll just fiddle and experiment myself.

it is likely also that the general public is overworked and underpaid, and social media is over-saturated with many ads and ad-like things.
