How come you didn't start with that a year ago or longer ago like me?

Yes, I would have liked to comment like you, if users didn't end up saying "yeah, okay, I'll do that next time" or "thank you", then I would have encouraged users by commenting. As you said, I read. You're right, I was a little afraid of how everyone would take my comment. But I think there's a lot to learn here, so what I don't know should be learned from the experts.

Do you believe this will change after all those years?

It may seem a bit difficult for everyone to suddenly accept this change after so many years. However, if the system wants to establish these rules, then I think those who want to work actively will adapt themselves over time. For example, I myself am preparing to adapt myself to these new rules.

Would you apply if we do not receive an upvote?

We don't always get upvotes on all posts, but we don't give up. So if that happens, the number of applications will be much less. Because, when users see the hope of upvotes on the topic they are interested in, they get confused. In my opinion, I have gained a lot of experience on this platform in my three years of journey. This platform is like an emotion for me, good or bad, it is our journey. So my answer would be yes, even if we don't get upvotes, we can still apply based on emotion. But this won't happen to everyone, it is more likely for those who want to be involved with this platform.

Have a good day friend. 💕💕
