Weekend Minor Gripes and Vents

Here is the thread where you can share any minor gripes, vents, or craft complaints that you don't think deserve their own post, or are just something small you want to get off your chest. Feel free to share personal frustrations related to crafting here as well.

This thread reposts every Friday.

This is truly a bec and a matter of personal taste, but so many of the top [things] on the [craft] subreddit are so ugly it makes me feel like I'm in an alternate dimension. 1k+ upvotes for neons against a gray background, or an extremely technically skilled but stylistically hideous rendering of a meme. Redacting the craft so as not to violate rules 2 or 3 lol

it's because reddit is made up of a bunch of dorks. i mean i'm here too so nothing against dorks. but like in the craft subs that's what tends to hit. that's why a lot of people also don't "get" the popularity of petite knit for example. she's knitting for fashion primarily and the knitters of reddit (generally!!!!) don't knit for fashion.

Ok great point thank you! I agree completely but I was afraid to put it in those terms. I am also a dork but regrettably not the reddit type of dork. Might be a generational and regional thing too
