I finally figured out why my forum posts kept getting ignored

I spent about $60 on a fancy online course last month that promised to teach me how to write viral posts. The instructor said to use complex words and long sentences to sound smart. I tried it for a week, posting in a few different places, and got zero replies. Turns out, people just want to read simple stuff that sounds like a real person talking. Has anyone else wasted cash on writing advice that just made things worse?

Ever try just writing like you're explaining something to a friend? That's what finally got people to actually respond to me.

Yeah, that course sounds like a scam... @martinez.ryan has the right idea.
