I feel the same way! I am beginning to see things in your perspective too. It's really a unique structure, and I feel grateful that such a gift of infrastructure has been given to us. @dantheman's leadership, I believe is extremely valuable. I know I've learned a lot so far.
Like you, I try to mine the obscure but quality posts even those that don't have a lot of upvotes. It can be devastating for new people to not have any upvotes.
