As someone who has tried to do interesting things dozens of times here with mixed results, you're absolutely right. Anybody who wants to make change or benefit from the changes others make has a responsibility to pay it forwards and participate in order to earn the environment they wish they had, but the internet is not a place of energy and patience. It is where you come when you've run out and you just want instant gratification.
