What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?


I don't get it. I ask a legitimate question about help on picking a preamp for my Pass Labs amp. I get maybe 10 responses. Some other guy who apparently is not a Pass Labs fan, has a thread on Amps with lights/meters and which sound better? He gets 50 comments.. Is this an example of reality TV's effect on society? Maybe someone will become a hit on here telling fart jokes.. Just something to think about!

I’m not a “jaded vet”, more “noob” than anything. But personally, I’ve come to appreciate the Audiogon forums and I sense a distinct personality or perspective that I’m not getting from other forums I’ve lurked on. That’s just my story. Not my point. 
But again, as someone who’s come to appreciate the community here and it’s wide range of seriousness, knowledge, intensity and snarky character, my immediate reaction to reading your post here is..I didn’t realize it was a contest. 
Maybe that’s just me. I’m not a person that compares “likes” or seeks out engagement in bulk. Personally, I value people’s intention, their experiences and more than anything, their time. I’d take ten, sincere, engaged opinions over 100 predictable, repetitive responses all day. 
Again, just my opinion; my experience. If anything, this just highlights what I’m understanding to be a deeper misunderstanding of “reality” that’s rampant in our lives. Our current cultural fix with these screens and their content has penetrated even the most intelligent of beings, the Audiophile. This is alarming. Up there with Global Warming..at least!
