I agree and I feel some kind of need to reply to everyone who posts a comment, but at the same time it's maybe more than a second and for a professional who is posting in 10 different places and doing lots of time consuming promotional work, "attaboys" aren't really helpful and probably don't lead to putting food on the table. I know what little promo stuff I do takes up a stupid amount of time. But like I said, I agree and I would guess that does have an impact. Although I've noticed that some of the insanely popular artists around here will have hundreds of comments and reply to none. For sure there isn't time, but the comments are still there just the same. Then again, those artists may interact with their fans in other ways where this person posts and says nothing, ever. I dunno.
