Someone on here told me my posts about traffic were too vague and it actually helped

I used to just complain about 'traffic being bad' on 285. Then a user replied, 'Which exit? What time? That doesn't help anyone.' So now I give specifics, like 'southbound at I-20, backed up from 5:15 to 5:45 PM.' It makes the info actually useful. Anyone else get called out for being too general and have to change their style?

Got called out for posting "the line at the store is crazy." Someone asked which store and how crazy, like am I talking three people or wrapping around the building. Now I'm that person giving a full report like "Kroger on Main, only two registers open, line is at the dairy case." It's embarrassing but they were totally right.

Totally got roasted for a "weather sucks" post once.

Read an article calling it "ambient awareness." Those small updates actually help friends feel connected. Makes the boring posts seem a bit more useful.
