There are only a few posts where I didn't respond, but I made it clear in advance I was taking a break and since this eats up a lot of my free time, or I'm multitasking, that break is needed. I'm sure people realize I have a life as well.
I want to be a good host though. The art is there, so if this was my own art gallery somewhere downtown, I'd speak to those stepping into my establishment as well. I'd offer a cup of coffee, here I can simply pass them a small vote as a token of my appreciation. I treat it like that.
Sometimes I'll do a short form post, I like to mix it up. I'll still get comments and I've had a few complaints in the past where people suggest I'm being lazy and don't deserve the rewards, but the part they're missing is the fact I've spent hours later on in the comment section cracking jokes and just chilling with people, and of course that then adds to the value of the post in it's entirety, comments included.
It takes a lot of time if you want to answer to everyone, and have time to live in the real life and also create content every day. I always prioritise and choose to answer mostly to the people who have been with me a long time, and also to the comments that have more than two words and at least try to be something else than a copy-paste comment.
I have had some great conversations and fun in the comment section, and sometimes when I am bored, I just joke around in there.
I hate it when I see people commenting to big users, that never comment back. It's a waste of time for the commentators, and I think it's very rude to not even try to communicate a little. I don't upvote users like that, no matter how good their content might be.

I scared away most of the butt kisser commentators with their sleazy useless two-faced compliments. Not many of those show up to my blog anymore simply because I was either rude to them or brutally honest, which they deserved, instead of the vote they thought they'd get from me after they lied to my face.
If I boosted a post to the trending page, that's all I'd get is those junk comments and all of Steemit would think I'm the biggest asshole because I'd be sitting there spending hours tearing a strip out of each and every one of them. LOL

I did see some of your snappy comments, they were really entertaining :D
I prefer staying a little under the radar of the trending page, it's so much drama if you get there, and I'm definitely not gonna buy myself into there!

Yeah, unfortunately I don't come equipped with much of a filter. I also know all too well the entertainment value in some of my outbursts which is just another reason why I just go ahead and do it.
As for that trending page, well, I was just there bursting someone's bubble. At least I was polite about it!
