We live in a swipe left/swipe right world. If what you're posting isn't the product viewers came to this site to consume, it's unsatisfying for them. Sometimes, hitting the "report post' button is the only power people have been able to exert all day. So, they do it. It isn't personal. It is unfortunate, though, if you've spent time writing it.
