I haven't been on this forum for long, but I have already read some of your reports; I will read this mega post! And I will not hesitate to discuss it with you if you are open to it :) However, I am not sure that we can make correlation links if some of us between our habits on Reddit and our way of showing our interests in research related to stuttering. That your mega post, for example, did not get many responses could have a variety of very different meanings. Like perhaps many of us don't necessarily think of Reddit for this kind of content. Or maybe the wording of your post isn't necessarily appealing to someone who isn't here to read research reports. In short, I'm not sure we can make those connections. Also, talking about the status quo, that speech therapists would lose their jobs, thus research is not being pushed... That sounds like conspiracy theory territory to me. I myself live in a country where healthcare is completely free, and it costs the state and taxpayers a lot to reimburse sessions with speech therapists. Moreover, these speech therapists have only a portion of their clients who stutter; they wouldn't lose many people. And your example is applicable to anything a health professional can do/fix... Anyway, I really don't subscribe to this idea. Cigarettes bring a lot of money to states through VAT, but that doesn't mean that most of them aren't doing everything they can to reduce tobacco consumption. It might not be the best example, but I think it's a misunderstanding to look into everyone's interests at that level.
