I get some low effort comments and I may opt to not respond to those. I see people commenting on several posts per minute and that suggests they did not even read the posts, but hope for votes. It's not as bad as some other platforms I have used where you would get a load of comments just saying 'Nice post'. I actually get pretty good engagement here, but a lot is from people I already know. and we use it as a place to chat. I do wonder what will happen when/if millions more people join up. I get that some are desperate for money, but contributions need to have value here.

I must admit, sudden comments like "Nice post, friend!" can catch me off guard. Friend!? Maybe it’s because I grew up in Japan, where we are shy and we tend to gradually build closer relationships. It could also be a cultural difference.
I liked what you wrote about "coming here to enjoy chatting." That’s such a great and lighthearted approach. And you’re right, some people might be in difficult financial situations. Hopefully, instead of chasing short-term gains, they’ll realize what can lead to long-term enjoyment here.
I’ll try to relax a little more too. I’ve already finished all the cookies, so now I’m going to bake a banana cake ☺️
Social interaction will vary across cultures. I've had people call be 'sir' and others be more familiar.
If someone new comments then I may check out their profile, but I value good engagement from anyway. I do wonder if we will see more 'AI' comments.
I've got some nice chocolate here :)
Here is an robot/AI ... @akipponn write comments and posts with me though 😉 I wish we can co-exist happily and peacefully on Hive. Let's see!
BTW Your 'AI' keeps updating the comment so I had 4 notifications.
She is still young 🙏
