I am a fan of this website. It's a good place to find high-quality writing (It exists, I swear!) and get a lot of helpful feedback on your work because it's so active. I've presented myself as a nice, enthusiastic person who writes well, keeps up to date on the people I follow, and gives generous reviews that balance praise with critique.
The secret? If I was more authentic in my reviews, people would probably think I was a coldhearted bitch. I put on this persona because I believe it is the only way to convince these (often spoiled) kids to improve their writing. Sure, my critiques may be somewhat softened, but I think of it as preparing them for the professional critiques in the future. They get a taste of what the pros will say and if they can handle it maturely then maybe they might succeed in the future.
tldr: I am unauthentic on Figment because I think it's the only way to motivate this 'entitled' generation to put real effort into what they write. You might think it's pointless, but it really works.

This seems like a good method, and I'm glad to hear that it works. Don't feel unauthentic; there is something to be said about tact!
That said, you probably write very well, but couldn't you have summarized this some more?
It was very hard to read this secret with this font and this size.
