This wouldn't really be termed as milking
True, lol. I guess I see it as milking because I could have quite easily posted a run of the mill comment on that post and had a similar effect.
back in the days the engagement was humongous
Damn right. I remember the days when I'd look at the WOTW tag and see 10+ comments on every post. That will happen again, I am certain of it.
But I guess no one will disagree with the reward because it suits the bill and it took a lot of effort to actually write it. So I guess that's a pass hahah.
The drama that took place some weeks back might have contributed to that too, but gradually it's becoming even better if you've taken notice lately.
