yeah no i know exactly what you mean, for me especially on the other blockchain where posts are quick twitter-like blasts, i can either be making posts for hours (where i mean time is spent in photoshop/etc in between actual posts), or i might get caught up in long comment threads for hours.
here you've been by far the most engaging, though i also send you a lot of questions and our comments tend to actually further along a conversation. i think i've replied to ALMOST every comment i've gotten here, but my responses to a lot of comments don't exactly lend themselves to further conversation since i might just be responding to someone with a "thanks" (though i usually include a bit more than that, if not always).
at the other blockchain, i can just like every comment without it "costing" anything (i can also do a kind of tip too which i usually do the base one which comes out to being approx $0.01), so if i don't further the comment thread i at least can give an easy indication of having read it.
and i wouldn't think you'd hold a grudge, but i personally would feel bad doing that, though i'm also just the kind of person where i literally can't imagine it happening unless i have some actual emergency in my life!
i'm still kinda trying to figure out how to really find other posts that i want to leave comments on. so far the only one that i really left a long comment on was a post about some kind of TRUMP coin LOL
I never got in to Twitter or shortform platforms. Even when I used Facebook I felt like the only one who could say more than one sentence. Also felt awkward writing my long ass status messages...
I put all that behind me. Bought a new laptop thinking there's no fucking way I'm putting Facebook on here. Having a device without it feels like being released from prison. Though I don't really know what that feels like except for that one time I got a bit drunk and yeah... spent the night. lol
You can always slide your vote value down to 1% and use that as a 'like' for comments. I think I mentioned that but I forget. 1% votes won't drain your power much. It'll be recharged in no time.
TRUMP coin? Another shitcoin I assume...
It can be difficult to find stuff to engage with. Some people create in a way where not much can even be said. It's just, there. But if you got to that Case for $100 Hive post on trending you'll see me and plenty of others talking. When there's a lot of comments, that usually a good indication you might have something to add. But at the same time, you don't know unless you click. Some awesome posts are quiet. That ties in a bit with what I was talking about before; lack of consumers.
