Well done and effective post by you and the Steemit community, @krnel. Great engagement/responses. I also agree that content providers need to interact more with their commenters. Most of the big-names on here simply use Steemit as an extra form of revenue from content they initially post on places like Youtube. However, I find that to be selfish. Their perception of this issue is that they are providing the "great, professional content," so we should just be happy and vote for it.

It wouldn't take much for them, however, to assign the job of perusing and responding to comments to some low-level peon. As a matter of fact, I think Sean @Sgtreport does that. I did get a response from a comment, but noticed it did not quite fit with my comment. And, it was not upvoted - although I had not intended or expected to get one.

Anyhoo...we can just vote with our Steem-dollars and they'll eventually get the picture.
