However, imagine that your posts are not seen by anyone for a long time. Or even if people see them, they do not react to them. Admit it, wouldn’t you be very disappointed?
This is exactly what happened to a man named Andy Bowen. Let’s look at the details.
In 2018, Andy Bowen, who was 34 years old, started producing systematic content on Reddit under the name “Bufger”.
However, his posts did not receive any random likes or comments. Even though Andy was secretly annoyed by this situation, he was aware that it was not easy to be noticed. For this reason, he waited patiently and continued to post regularly on Reddit almost every day.
Andy Bowen shared various posts about every kind of bet one can think of. In fact, the problem was not that his posts did not appeal to people. But Andy persistently searched for the problem within himself for a long time.
In his opinion, if he could share quality posts, one or more people would like one of his posts or make a comment, even if briefly.
The desperate man continued his posts for 12 months, but the result was still the same.
At the end of 1 year, he started to think that there was something wrong with this job and that this situation was not normal. He found the solution by writing to Reddit’s support group. The truth that emerged was quite surprising.
Reddit accidentally saw Andy Bowen’s account as spam and blocked it. In other words, this man’s posts were not even shown to a single individual. In his posts, he was speaking as if he were talking to a wall.
Of course, once the problem was discovered, it was fixed within 6 hours and the account returned to normal. Andy’s post explaining his experiences received more than 123,000 likes. While this man was a “nobody” on the site for 1 year, he suddenly turned into a hero.
Users gave him great support, saying that it was a pity for his old posts.
In addition, the Reddit group gave the user 3.5 years of premium to apologize. This unfortunate man expressed his feelings about the incident as follows: “People were very surprised why I wasn’t angry enough, but the moderator of the site explained what happened to me. I was also a victim during the effort to stop the attacks against the site. They thought I was associated with an IP address or account they blocked, so the incident happened.” That’s all. The obstacle was lifted within 6 hours.”
Finally, Reddit user Andy stated that he continued to share despite everything and that he loved this platform.
It’s quite a strange situation, isn’t it?
