The only thing that kept me in here was 2-3 random comments in my post
I feel the same here. It's great to get upvotes to our posts. It's good for the wallet. But when you get comments, this is a totally different dimension. It's what gives us motivation to write things in the first place I believe.
It is definitely a time consuming activity to engage with people but it's so rewarding and I realised that when I comment on other people's posts, they tend to do the same with mine. So I try to dedicate 15 minutes every day (which is not that much) to read posts of other people and to leave a comment. If everybody does that, we will all feel a bit happier :-)
The different dimension, as you said, is a different type of payoff.
While comments can certainly get compensated, I vote on enough of them, it is more than financial. The fact that people can start to have conversations is really what helps things along.

I totally agree. It's the conversations that are actually the basis for building real relationships on this platform. Such relationships can become strong bonds that make this community different from many others.
It also should be encouraging to newer people when they get pulled into conversations.
I rarely look at the user as much as the content of the comment. Any applicable comment that warrants a reply gets one, regardless of who puts it up.
This is much different from what happens on traditional social media where most interaction takes place between "friends".

I believe this is actually what stands out on this blockchain. You can start to interact with somebody that you don't know on the basis of content. It's a great way to actually make friends with people who have similar interests.
exactly as you described it! Also, imagine that i dedicate over an hour reading/commenting :P

That's what I would like to do as well. Need to find a bit more time for that ;-)
