How do you guys feel about accounts that post threads and then don’t ever comment in them?
If a person makes a post and doesn’t participate further, then there can be valid reasons, but over all it just feels rude, dishonorable or something to me.
I’m starting to wonder if when an OP doesn’t reply that they are just bots fishing for common responses for some LLM training data or something.
If I’m posting a question, I simply won’t have anything better to say to someone who answered with more expertise than me 🤷♂️. If I say thanks to everyone just for the sake of it, I feel like I’m clogging up the comment section.
If someone shows respect and thanks to one person who is helpful, then why shouldn’t they for all who are helpful?
It would be awfully egotistical for me to be upset that I wasn’t the only one who was thanked. Like thanking other people makes it meaningless.
IMO it just shows the persons character in relation to whatever the subject at hand is. Plenty of things to be critical of but being nice to too many people isn’t one of them.
I feel the opposite. If someone goes on an “Ask” community and is responding to most answers, it feels like they’re trying to push an agenda. The polite thing, in my mind, is upvote the answers you get and only respond to ask clarifying questions or maaaaybe say thanks if anything is particularly insightful or helpful.
While of course i have a reason for posting this thread just like everyone else’s always does. It’d be really weird not having an abnormally high reply rate giving the spirit of my post lol. I could have gone the other way and intentionally replied to zero people as a joke.
Under normal conditions i would do like you say, just not for this post for obvious reasons.
edit: also, some people are just more invested or friendly, they might want some conversation. I do realise you are taking a stab at me, but its ok to chat a bit.
Not trying to take a stab; trying to share a different perspective.

Sometimes it’s better to reply in comments to address specific questions, other times better to post an ETA. Sometimes, I just wanted to provoke discussion, or I’m about to do something that’ll leave me away for a couple of hours.
