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.

Early answers seem to say that its common and not rude to not respond, for different reasons.

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.
