Everyone here joined for a reason, could be curiosity, to find someone to hookup with or to find tasks and ideas. A lot of the time people will happily lurk around reading and picking up things to do, getting what they want in short and not bothering to interact with anyone else. And this is all well and good, except if you break things down, if everyone did this, where would the content come from?
The internet is effectively an infinite pool of information, some of it good, most of it bad but all of it put there by someone. Of course a lot of what you read or see has been pilfered, poached or outright pinched from somewhere else in a endless cycle of copy and paste. Attribution is about as common unicorn milk so most of the time there is no link back to the source. But sometime, somewhere, someone took the time to create it.
This is my typically rambling way of trying to point out that what you get out of Kink Talk depends entirely on the work that has gone into creating it. Here within this little community the cycle is actually fairly short, there is very little plagiarized material here, some recycling and regurgitation of tasks and dares but otherwise it's mostly original work. The members here who do contribute, write posts, post photos, comment and engage do so for their own reasons and all too often they get little or no feedback. So why do they do it, what's in it for them?
Luckily many simply love to share, their ideas or images and carry on regardless of the reaction. But this doesn't mean we just rely on their giving, magnanimous nature to continue unrewarded. It doesn't take much to hit that "like" button, a little more effort to leave a comment and in so doing let that person know you acknowledge their effort. This also applies when you ask for help, or want a task, consider that if someone is going to take their time to respond in a meaningful, useful manner that will require time and effort on their part. You are asking something of them, but what are you offering in return? What's in it for them?
