Perhaps it's my still brain still thawing out from a long Canadian winter or something but this morning a strange thought crossed my mind.. After being on Steemit for nearly a year I've noticed patterns within myself as well as other users in regards to frequency of replying to comments on their posts. I thought I'd break down my thoughts on the matter below.
There was a time when one was able to easily keep up with all of the comments from Steemit with little to no effort at all as they came in. Now what tends to happen is I'm seemingly less able to keep up with them as they come in and instead opt to every day or so try and "catch up" on replies to ensure no one is left unanswered.
Keep in mind I only have roughly 1000 followers (<3) at the moment and not every one of them engages every post. On average between 5 to 10 people comment on a post of mine it seems. Of course more posts submitted equals more comments from others which adds to the overall amount of time spent replying to comments or catching up increasing.
My question is this: Is it or do you find it rude when you don't get a reply on a comment?
Some users on here seemingly take next to no effort in replying to comments on their posts. While "Each to their own!" personally to me the experience is less "real" without the interaction and thoughts from other people. Sure, a person can write a great article but if the interaction between users isn't there it ends up turning into a soap box or podium rather than the social network it was originally intended to be. Just my $0.020 SBD anyways.
