I've created content for a small video game community, and while the initial support was overwhelming, gradually the flames die out and people seem to forget you, of course, until you do something wrong. I can say that just one caring, honest and well done comment can ignite my passion and make me feel very grateful.

I truly wish the old days would come back, I know many, many people have moved to Twit, Insta, or even Facebook (which I do haunt occasionally) but I am resisting Twit and Insta because there is so much negativity these days. When it is not negativity, it feels like people are just trying to sell things these days.

Yeah, it's sad to see so little engagement, so few comments, and so much discord (pun intended) in our current culture war. If our fellow creators can keep the fire burning bright, that might just be enough to sustain us. <br />Venger Satanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447932700800930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862476909691512457.post-86993402937710537332021-10-06T12:53:15.171-05:002021-10-06T12:53:15.171-05:00Yeah, I really need to be doing this.

Suffice it to say, it feels like people are conditioned to rant and rave on twitter and engage in various forms of outrage posting instead of the quiet and thoughtful exchange of ideas.

The older blog posts from "back in the day" definitely have some robust discussions.

For me, page views is nothing compared to a single comment, because that means someone 1) read, and 2) bother to hit "Comment". A thousand page views is completely anonymous.

Look at the comment threads on old blogs. They were full of great discussion. Sometimes better than the original post. <br /><br />Thanks for writing this and I hope more people pick up the habit of commenting on Travis Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462669235840448896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862476909691512457.post-89273405620515381072021-10-06T02:01:40.930-05:002021-10-06T02:01:40.930-05:00This one hit home for me too!

I know that part of that is me not interacting with my surroundings (not to excuse it, but really about 90% of the people I interacted with online have stopped publishing on their blogs or do something else now). Anyway, thanks Matt.

I'll try and comment more if I can, because we should. I do find I interact more via Discord, in the few I'm in, and sometimes on Twitter. They're easier to 'chat' in though.Simon Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243845335993440168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862476909691512457.post-17614152497835012412021-10-05T20:10:16.622-05:002021-10-05T20:10:16.622-05:00Great post and I very much agree!!

Like you, I fell out of regularly commenting on people's blogs. The ones I read regularly I post comments on, but the ones I read occasionally I tend to just read and move on. I'll try to be a bit more mindful of this in the future. Thanks again, Matt!Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.com
