It's just like reading wiki or the official tourist board website which sadly provides little incentive for me to visit the place they're writing about.

Many are from wikis unfortunately :/

BTW, what really caught my eye with this post, wasn't the actual post itself (well, it was at the beginning) but the fact that you've declined payout on all your own comments.

Most came because they didn't want to risk bad sex ;)

Declining payout is a silly thing really that shouldn't be necessary but so many still claim 'for visibility'. Declining means they can upvote for visibility without taking from the pool. I don't upvote my own comments anyway...
