It makes me not want to post in those subs. It's as if I was working for someone else. If you have no interest in a subject to the point that you have nothing to say about it then don't take the admin position in the first place.

There are more than 500 people registered to /m/interestingasfuck, with zero post, nothing, absolutely nothing posted there. So don't say that this kind of behavior is for facilitating the experience. It is to gather virtual points of fame. They create it because they think it's gonna get big, not out of interest or to facilitate anything. I don't want this kind of person to moderate the subs I like.

I thought about trying to make one but realized I despise responsibility.

I did post to m/fountainpens precisely because it was there, so it kind of is a bit of a "build and hope they come" situation. I just wish these people would just bother to actually build the community. A welcome post. Some articles. Anything!
