We need to remember that our comments, our upvotes, our engagement is what keeps the creators creating.
And the replies and comments on the comments help people keep engaging too. I like it when people are replying to the comments on my own posts. It happens more on the "general" accounts than the "private" accounts, but it is nice to see relationships build between consumers.
