I don't understand how that's supposed to work, you'd have to have posted some bad takes, and even if you did, "hey I made the wrong call based off what I believed at the time, I now understand where I was misled" isn't going to turn anyone against you.

It really only affects people who don't stand behind their words.

    You overestimate the average persons ability to read what you've written and interpret the meaning behind it. I have no doubt that plenty of people will read your comments from years ago and nail you to the wall over some gross misinterpretation of something that's not even remotely related to the topic at hand.

    "hey I made the wrong call based off what I believed at the time, I now understand where I was misled"

    This would never work. It actually would 100% lead to being mass downvoted. Not just reddit, but here too.

    exactly. I wonder sometimes at comments. People seem to have limited experience with other people here, and are overly optimistic about how reasonable and kind people are.... they are not. especially not in a social media setting.
