Ugh, I remember the first time I tried to post on Reddit — I had this super niche theory about time travel in cartoons, and I was SO excited to share it. But nope, not enough karma. Ended up commenting on cat pics for like a week just to level up 😂 Felt like I was grinding XP in a video game just to be allowed to talk. Reddit really said: “Earn your right to be weird here.”
