Some times I have to remind myself that this isn’t Reddit and that a lot of times it’s a handful of people bringing interesting content.

I must say, this comment in the Where’s Wally? thread made me feel both grand as a king and grateful as a guttersnipe. To be clear-- whilst I often borrow from the work of giants, I always try to add context, some interesting notes, plus any personal spin that helps flesh out the subject matter.

I’ve been doing that since the founding of the sub last year, and have happily been joined by Nacktmull, Valmond, and a couple freelancers who enjoy posting here from time-to-time, bless 'em!

My point here is that it’s all done by hand, with no reposting bots, or anything.

That said, with regard to posts like these, it honestly hurts to get downvoted without the slightest shred of feedback. I mean, for sure I can understand if I did something wrong, but to downvote anonymously is incredibly de-motivating, just in case anyone was wondering how I felt about putting my time & effort in to public work meant for general enjoyment.

But… these things happen, is it not? So let’s move on. In case you’re interested, I’ve put together an *updated* ‘best of 2023’ list here.
