This. I've had someone down vote me because they thought I was earning too much on it. Had nothing to do with their opinion on the actual post. They just wanted to play regulator. It's part of it, man. Lately I've taken a different approach. I started a community to help newcomers learn. It's barren as hell, but I post as if I'm teaching. I suck at it because I don't know this stuff either... but every post I research and write out builds my own knowledge. If someone else finds it useful that's awesome. If not I still gain something. It's also, more fun to talk about what I want rather than sifting through my feed looking for someone else's attempt at the same.
