Hit 500 answered questions on here and it feels weirdly empty

I hit 500 responses in the Ask Anything community last week and honestly thought I'd feel some sense of accomplishment. It's not like I planned it, I just reply to random stuff late at night, usually about weird hobbies or niche problems. But when I saw that number pop up in my stats, I sat there for a minute wondering why I even do this. Most of my answers get two upvotes and no reply, or someone just says 'thanks' and that's it. Maybe it's just me but I expected some kind of milestone feeling or at least a notification. Is there some hidden reward I'm missing or is this just a personal time sink that feels good in the moment? Has anyone else hit a random number like 100 or 1000 and felt like it kind of meant nothing?

Oh man, same here. Hit 300 and felt totally nothing.

Did you try lowering your dose for a bit?
