I get notified when Partha posts because I find what he posts to be concise (I KNOW!!!), insightful, and most importantly actionable. I followed him to DMC and have been SO grateful to be here - I feel as if I have learned from DMC in weeks what I have been struggling to learn from WA in months (many months).
It doesn't surprise me that many people who are here from WA are frustrated by WA. And that depending on where they are in their SEO and MMO career, their particular frustrations may be different.
A good bit of the discussion explaining various frustrations with WA I have also found really helpful ... these discussions have helped me understand WHY and HOW particular business models work (or don't work). That's REALLY USEFUL information!
That is the spirit in which I hear these critiques ... and why I value them as an important part of the OPEN conversations we are able to have here. Just saying ... 
Now ... back to review writing! Have a good day ya'll :):)
I hope that's a JOKE!!!
Of course it is.
I saw how you've been telling Jonathan that your helpfulness at WA is the example he should follow in his Reddit endeavour. Now to some people, this may give the impression that you did all that for marketing, just like Jonathan is trying to do.
In other words, it was your plan all along to become the "go-to guy" for many people on WA so you can eventually start selling courses/services to your own community. That may be somewhat true, but I know there's more to it.
1) You have a big ego so it makes you feel good. 🤣
2) You genuinely like to help people.
I have a very good memory. I still remember when you were passionately trying to help an old fellow at WA who was struggling to do the most basic of things. Objectively speaking, it's clear that this man was never going to be a "client" — he wouldn't have even known how to find DMC.
I also remember occasions when you told some people to talk to Site Support (your blood must've been boiling), or helped them with basic things. Unlike Abie and her gang, you weren't doing that to maintain your WA rank, were you?
And this is not the sort of help which would help you establish yourself as an authority on the platform, which leaves only one thing: you're a nice guy!
