It makes sense, but is still sad

I've gotten used to this. The posts where I write several paragraphs and go kinda in-depth on a topic, and even do some research in the background on to make sure I don't talk complete nonsese routinely get no upvotes at all. The ones that rise to the top are snippy one-liner remarks that get a cheap laugh out of people, but honestly don't add anything of substance to the discussion.
