How worthwhile do you think it actually is to give advice here? I've asked for some advice that's worked out before, but I really wonder if that's the case for most posters here.
Has /adv/ ever given you advice that you've used to positive effect? Or is it all just frogposting and sluts and whores?
I have posted a few threads and most of the advice people gave was too simple to help me out. I really feel that some cases are just too complex for strangers to give proper advice.

i have asked for advice a few times, and i did get useful replies on one thread, however, on the other threads people where predominately looking for arguments. some threads on here are great but i sometimes cant stand how people act. this is meant to be the board with the most normies but a lot of people still act really edgy and childish.
I always doubt that anyone I give advice to follows through with it. Usually people come here with a preconception that they want to hear validated. Many posterd are incapable of critically thinking about their own problem from perspectives other than their own, and this language-based medium simply cannot convey the true lessons of revelation and empathy they need. I think I give advice more for myself, that I might better understand the things that obstruct and cause one to suffer, and deal with them better in my life when my time comes. I don't really care whether my advice is followed or not.
While I browse this board all the time for entertainment, I would never actually ask for advice from here.
Better to just trust my gut and consult people in real life I respect and value the opinion of.
I usually see at least one really good piece of advice per thread. Sometimes it's something I hadn't even considered, and I think myself usually to be fairly sensible about things
Way too many 20+ year old kissless virgins frogposters who complain how sad their life is instead of actually doing anything.
Other than that i think it's more like giving and asking for opinions about a certain matter, not actual advices, tho i've actually followed advices from here and they have worked for me.
