Yeah, sometimes we just forget to appreciate those that have really contributed to our journey, been a part of our story and progress. Although I don't publicly tell my favorite users here that they're my favorite users, just like you, most of them already know with the way I'm engaged with them.
It's mostly not about content for me likewise, I feel an all round personality makes up the entities of people and that's why I didn't say favorite creator as well. Someone might right good contents, yet, we don't feel any affiliation or special bias for them.
