Did anyone else notice...

    The quality of posts going down on DP recently? Or should i say the whole attitude towards posting getting worse...

    Could this be because people are trying to raise their post count in order to start selling their signatures? Like the recent poll "Why do you post on DP" showed how almost half the people do it just for the reason mentioned above.

    So the end result is...

    1) People post one sentence replies that don't make any sense. eg Someone would write: "I have managed to reach $10/day with Adsense but my CTR has started to drop bla bla bla... How can i.... bla bla bla?" People would reply with: "Well done!", "Get more traffic" and "Adsense sucks anyway"

    2) It seems like people just read the first post and reply. When you give someone the answer the next 5 people would post just repeating what you just said...

    Or is it just me :p

    Adsense sucks! Well done! :eek::D


    P.S. It ain't just you. ;)

    P.P.S. Being the second poster in this thread, I can get away with only reading the first post before replying. :p

    There's not much to add, dude. You pretty much covered it. I noticed it too. Many of us have.
    Have you had a good look at the BST threads lately???

    It's been pretty much the same the entire time I've been a member here. 5 - 10% of the members contribute and the other 90 - 95% just post garbage for their own purposes.

    Maybe it's becuase you know more than most having been around so long. As a newb I don't mind responses like Crazy_Zaps as long as someone responds else we feel a fool for posting in the first place. And you're always going to get more responses than new threads.

    The BST (buy, sell, trade?) are poor though maybe responses to those threads shouldn't be allowed other than through PM but hten iTrader won't work.
