Me now for this forum any backlash I get I Dey use am as ginger to learn more make I Dey fit make better posts.
The same thing happens here. You join the forum with excitement, positive you'll make money, and think your journey will be smooth. You think all you need to do is comment, get merit, post, get merit, build your account, and start getting jobs. But after your first post, you see comments like, 'Try to understand this topic before writing about it, newbie.' You calm down, comment, and are flagged for AI content.
You take a deep breath, push on, and post again. Someone comments, 'This topic has been written about before; read previous posts before commenting.' Such comments kill a newbie's vibe. It takes resilience to overlook them.
If you crave acceptance before moving forward, harsh comments will break you. You'll feel like leaving, thinking, 'These people want to kill me.' Such comments affect people's minds, and only those with mental toughness can function.
When your post doesn't get merit, but others' comments under it and get merit, you are like, 'What's going on here?' It's not easy; not everyone takes criticism well. Learning processes differ; some people learn slowly.
For newbies to stay, aside from those that can motivate themselves, they need support. They need encouragement, online or offline, to be able to overlook harsh comments and know they'll succeed. Without this encouragement, they'll leave. So, let's be nicer to newbies; correct them constructively.
