Take a second to go upvote You Are A Brain if you haven't already...

This is extremely off-topic, but please do not tell me what to upvote. I actually downvoted that post because the slideshow was completely useless to me and I thought its quality was poor. This isn't to slam Liron; his post just didn't do it for me.

But just because you really, really liked it doesn't mean you get to tell me what to like.

I actually think Liron's slideshow needs a lot of work, but it seems very much like the kind of thing LWers should be trying to do out in the world.

the slideshow was completely useless to me

Yes, of course it was. It was created for teenagers who are utterly unfamiliar with this way of thinking.

its quality was poor

OK. Can you improve it or do better?

I would agree.

OK. Can you improve it or do better?

Possibly, but I have little reason to do so since this sort of thing is not particularly applicable to my life.

Of note, I am not trying to be a jerk or make this a big deal. My comment really has little to do with Liron's post. It has everything to do with you telling me to upvote something. I just, politely, want you to not do that again. I had typed up more details on why I downvoted but they are irrelevant for what I wanted to say to you.

I agree with the parent. This article was okay, but can you fawn over Liron somewhere else -- perhaps in the comments on its article?
