They can’t get to see content that they used to, and despite not creating it themselves, or doing ANYTHING other than consuming it, they feel entitled to access it, as if it were “theirs”.
I completely agree with you.
I was a mod on an advice sub (that I recreated over here), and people would message modmail after posting and say “why is no one commenting on my post”. Like, you aren’t entitled to free advice, you’re asking for it. But people would get legitimately angry whenever they wouldn’t get any advice, or if the advice they got wasn’t what they were looking for.
The thing that made me the most angry were the people who would delete their post after getting advice. Like people wrote comments for everyone to read, not just for you, and then you go and defacto make those comments private?
I fully believe that audience of people does not understand that they aren’t the center of the universe and that there are actual people on the other end of comments…

I mean sometimes you won’t want your main account be be associated with some of the questions but that should be what a burner or alter account is for. I imagine if some people are lazy enough to not create a new account they are probably asking already widely documented and answered questions.
