Life is timing, love is timing, communities are timing too

It's common to put a lot of effort into a post on a community forum, only for it to get buried. It would be icing on the cake if your hard work got a good response, but things rarely go exactly as we want. Around the time you finish writing and post a somewhat lengthy piece, if someone comments and the view count jumps up, it'll likely appear at the top or second spot on the recommended posts. Of course, even if it appears lower down, it'll move up if comments and views increase. But it's not easy. There are only one or two visible recommended posts. People don't like scrolling, and frankly, they're not that interested in others' posts. They tend to flock to the top ones. It's like the rich get richer. They might even leave random comments without reading the content. If there weren't benefits, posts might stay visible longer and get more views on the community, which is a shame. However. Even with timing and luck playing a role, isn't it important to live a life where your choices and direction are aligned correctly?
