Also, realizing that I actually don't really have any idea what I'm talking about...

Conversely, if you actually are an expert on a specific subject, reading any comment thread about it is very disheartening and will leave you wondering how much bullshit you've accidentally ingested and taken at face value from other threads about which you are less knowledgeable.

It's a good habit. I wish most people had that mindset, usually they just hit send and launch their nonsensical tirade. It's a good way to get your thoughts out of your head without actually putting them online. I use to do it all the time in r/news even though I was shadowbanned because I refused to link an email to my account. It is kind of cathartic.

Honestly I think Reddit helped me recognize my own ignorance about most things. Well, more specifically, other people on Reddit who found various ways of pointing out that I didn't really know what I was talking about... I'm much less likely to post a comment than I used to be.

Reddit was great for that, I loved that aspect. I actually really enjoy when I have what I think is the most accurate opinion and then someone just comes around and is a niche Subject Matter Expert and slamdunks on me. It causes me to go down a rabbit hole and learn a lot of new stuff.

Yeah, I can see you've really cut down on babbling a bunch of bullshit every chance you get. 🙄
