The initial intent of reddit was to have downvotes be for off topic stuff, and yet most people use it as a silent "your opinion sucks" button. That stuff just adds to the hivemind feel of reddit. I wish there was a way to have an alternative system of weeding out misinformation or rude stuff without having to deal with something like downvotes. I suppose moderation could serve the purpose of weeding out the bad stuff instead, but then each community would need to be moderated properly.

I'm seconding the snake plant and spider plant recommendation! There's lots of snake plant varieties, so try getting the ones that catch your eye :D As for succulents, you'll have to research depending on the type of succulent. I know that popular social media has put out this misconception that succulents are set and forget plants but anyone who has tried to raise any amount of them would be able to tell you otherwise! Underwatering, overwatering, sunlight exposure amount (especially going to be a problem depending on how much light your apartment gets), etc, there's a lot to mess up and different varieties are more demanding. Succs can be really fussy sometimes.

Humble bundles for learning materials tend to be really poor. I've tried buying a programming bundle before and it was definitely worse than a lot of other free/accessible coding resources on the internet. Some may be tempted with the low prices but if someone wants a paid course there are more reputable resources that aren't part of the bargain bin bundles that humble bundle offers.

Of course, this is just my experience.
