I wouldn't think the Ecency rewards would be enough to do that, but you're probably right. I still respond to comments like that when I get them, but I am rolling my eyes as I do so, and my reply might have a little sarcasm in it.

Anyway, I agree with you, the feedback and interaction on posts is really where the best value is. Meeting people, having a pleasant discussion, hopefully bringing some joy to their lives. All these things add up to far more value than the money most of us make on the post.
