    On reddit I always had the feeling that someone else had already made my point for me. Here I find myself submitting all those comments and posts that I just deleted halfway through before.

      Ditto that.

      And the frustration that comes of that isn’t so much “I didn’t get to make a point, for which I lost the opportunity to receive credit” but more “I didn’t get to engage with the discussion in realtime without having a sense for how others would react, appreciate, or challenge my views”. Reading things afterward has that line of discussion set in stone in a way that’s unlike being a participant.
