    Constructive replies are much more fun, so probably that, but if hundreds of people read what I wrote that does make it feel like it was worth the time to write. Especially if some devoted research or math went into it.

    If there’s 100 upvotes on something socially relevant I want tens of downvotes. If it’s all upvotes you’re preaching to the choir, and that’s a circlejerking waste of time.

    100 upvotes, 10 replies might mean I pissed someone off

    But if it was 10 upvotes or 100 replies I’m taking the 100 replies, I love drama.

    Replies are more valuable, but I’m finding the replies to be not much higher quality than Reddit, which is a bit disappointing.

    That said, for every 10 replies, you may get a good one, and that one is worth sorting through the rest.

    I honestly kinda wonder why you’d post on social media if not to speak to people in some way. I mean someone agreeing with you/liking what you posted and adding nothing is fine, but doing it only for that, what’s the point?
