It depends, really. Unless you have a niche presence and have actually made it, we’re all just John and Jane Does. I don’t see this as “popularity,” we just got really lucky with some posts or we’re articulate with our arguments.
Don’t take it too seriously, live your life more than the guy who’s spending his on social media.
I had the same concerns as well when I got mine removed.
So let’s be real about things. The procedure itself was the most uncomfortable one because it took a long time. There was no pain, just discomfort of someone working inside my mouth. I was given pain meds and easy-to-follow instructions. I had scrambled eggs and yogurt for a good week or two, which got boring because I didn’t prepare well. I followed my pain med instructions easily.
2 years after, and I have no issues. So, as long as you’re not an idiot and as long as you don’t deliberately fail to follow instructions, it’ll be alright. Do it, don’t put it off for longer.
But muh free service!
I’m sad it’s gone but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s the end of the world.
