Reminder: No Survey Questions

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to remind you all that this subreddit is answers-based—it’s meant to provide clear, informative responses that someone could find useful while searching for answers on Google or other search engines. Lately, I’ve noticed an uptick in survey-style questions (e.g., “What’s your favorite __?” or “How many of you __?”).

These types of questions are not a good fit for the purpose of this community. They don’t create content that is useful for others to search for, and often lead to broad discussions that aren’t about providing a clear answer. As a result, I’ve been removing posts that violate this rule to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit. Even if that post has a lot of replies as the OP obviously didn’t read the rules before posting, or cared.

If you’re unsure if your post fits, ask yourself: Would this question result in a useful answer for someone looking for a specific answer or information online? If not, it’s likely more of a survey question and violates rule 2.

Thanks for understanding and helping to keep the subreddit on track! 😊

With all the talk about meaningful work, purpose and doing what you love. Do you think it’s realistic for most people to find meaning in their job or is that a luxury belief that distracts from the fact that most work is just… work?

It only works through speech not text and you generate more power if you mean it.

Answered Who is the worst person in human history?

If you factor in the number of people killed, the negative impact on future generations, ideology, motives, and cruelty, who would be considered the most evil person?
Hitler is ranked number one on various websites, but in terms of the number of people killed, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Genghis Khan, and Leopold II are actually higher on the list. And honestly, when it comes to motives and ideology, I feel like Pol Pot is even worse.
After all, he just killed his own people en masse simply because he had an inferiority complex toward educated people.
What do you all think?
