>>1319295Well put. Anyone who uses a trip on imageboards like /e/ does it for their ego. They can rationalize it to themselves whichever way they like, but in the end of the day, if you didn't do it for the praise, for the possibility to become a recognizable person or even celebrity, you'd just go Anonymous like most posters here.
If you only wanted to post pictures, or voice your opinion, you wouldn't need a trip. If you feel your opinion would only be valued with your name attached to it, you must be very insecure about it.
So if you're a tripfag here, you're an attention whore. No two ways about it, lie to yourself about it all you want. And the sooner you admit that to yourself, the sooner you can become a respected member of 4chan.
There is some irony in this, that the only way to receive respect is to forgo all ways in which others can track how respected you are. There are very few tripfags on 4chan that are respected. CBEB on /h/ is the only one that comes to mind, and few more that are tolerated. The rest put the "fag" in tripfag.
