Asking for help (Meta)

The article examines the common failure of large, free online Slack communities for tech networking and mentorship, where meaningful conversation is absent. It explores potential reasons, including the 'lurker' majority, the undervaluing of free services due to psychological biases, and the possibility that real mentorship happens in private subgroups. The author reflects on whether charging for sessions could improve perceived value and engagement.
