Because stack exchange didn't meet your expectations, you now claim that the whole world is a terrible place. And that is just irrational. There are millions of people around the globe who do make voluntary unpaid contributions. And most of the time, the people around them very well know and appreciate their efforts. You didn't answer the question, you put up a rant. Would have been an okay comment, but isn't an answer at all. | |

Everybody who knows them recognizes their volunteer unpaid efforts. Even on large scale: the German government has replaced the draft / mandatory draft "replacement" services with a "social volunteer" program. They recently had to bump their yearly budgets, because so many young people are willing to spend months for social services. And I do think that our society notices that. | |
