Lets Have Discussion on Leeching.

[23]

I havent been on here longer than a day but im immediately noticing this Leeching thing. Now, i understand what Leeching is and im all for being against it, but i feel there is serious design flaw that to me seems to guarentee that we all do a little Leechin to get content that we deserve. Im posting this to see what others think and maybe we can cast a vote as a community to decide on this.
I feel like if the admins dont like people saying just a few word posts they should remove the Hidden Content feature on this forum. No longer will we see 20+ pages of absolutely nothing which personally leads me to give up after that first post and not look further for someone actually trying to have a discussion.   

I find myself clicking on posts only to see nothing until i say something which i think is an odd rule in place. What am I to say other than a word or two if theres no context yet to see to form an opinon or a thought to?
This unfortunate feature is flooding what could potentially be exciting, thought provoking, engaging and interesting discussions with a bunch of pages of  lame "TY", "Thanks," "Hope its good," "word" "cool," "Lol" etc because we have nothing to say without seeing whats posted first.

I say we get rid of all the boring (Leeching) distracting single words or single small sentence replies which sadly we feel we must post to get that content that we signed up to be a part of in this great community and expose the original posts to all!

I say let their be light and let the people see! Let us no longer feel like we have no choice but to Leech or othewise say something silly or nothing at all!

Am i nuts here or does it not make much sense? I get the feeling like the Leechers are being brought out of the swamps and it almost seems like a form of Leech entrapment. 
Any thoughts?

I know right, there should be some "unlock content" button with a limit of 25 uses per day and maybe that should convert to likes or something. It's hard to talk about anything on those threads and I don't think they even help with SEO or anything.

It sounds like we’re frustrated with the current system and see a flaw in how hidden content is handled. It's understandable that having to post a word or two just to unlock content can lead to a flood of low-quality responses. Perhaps proposing changes to the system or discussing alternatives with the community could help address this issue. It's important to foster meaningful discussions while also discouraging leeching behavior.
