So many of the comments on getmotivated can be boiled down to "AND HERES WHY THIS ONE DOESNT APPLY TO ME TOO". It defeats the point of joining a getmotivated sub if you're not gonna play along. Like yeah, most of the motivation is kinda vague and holding up exceptional examples, but motivation is already a fickle and fleeting thing, on a certain level you've just got to play along and not think too hard.

Yeah, not all the posts will fit any given individual, but I feel like the least getmotivated thing you can do is go into the comments on posts like these and explain precisely why they're crap.

This one for example, is just "it's not too late, heres some examples of people doing big things at all ages" and people are taking offence that THEY couldn't start a billion dollar company at 40 so therefore the message is garbage. Stop taking it literally, it's just "its not too late".

Edit: I'm not defending this post, it's not exactly amazing. But it's depressing how almost every single comment section on this sub is "nah doesn't apply" "ugh you used a bad example, back to scrolling and fapping myself to death"
