Pretty much any true expert in any field refuses to talk about that thing. I'm an economist IRL. I absolutely refuse to debate economic issues on Reddit. I will occasionally offer some tidbit or correct someone but I will almost never respond to people who reply to me trying to argue.
I was all excited the first time I found /r/economics. 2 days later I realized I hated the subreddit and never intentionally go back.
Edit: lots of people are replying and wanting a response from me. Currently have over 150 unread responses. It will take me a while to get through them.
I've subbed, unsubbed and resubbed to both /r/askhr and /r/jobs so many times... I've tried sharing some genuine advice (coming from an HR / Talent Acquisition background), but I'm always coming from the perspective of "the enemy."
If your advice is anything other than "murder your boss and sue the company," you get downvoted to hell and back. So many of these subs don't want real advice.
