People told me HW treat the people that appeal in Discord like shit. Well you said we Germans can be tough to handle, but I do also think there is often too much a question of taste. Some people like giveaways, some people like travel blogs and to some people think only debates about crypto and finance should be had on the platform.
As long as there are people enjoying the content and nobody is harmed I dont see all the fuzz. The whole circle jerk drain argument boils down to 'I dont like your group and it is only fine when we do it because only we have legit content.' I do think you need some sort of sock puppets who fake high engagement case to really make a circle jerk argument - everything else is just normal group behaviour.
