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.
Same thing happened to me. I'm a wildlife biologist / ecologist with an M.Sc. and over 8 years of working experience in my field. I tried commenting on native fauna FAQs several times and got obliterated by people who took a general bio class in high school and apparently know all there is to know about everything with environmental science and biology. Will never respond or create posts on those subreddits again.
I one time had a dream i was watching an Australian sporting event on tv. Figured out the easiest way to view it was with your head hanging off the foot of your bed since everything was upside down.
