Yeah, in reality you are totally right. On stuff like Reddit not only did I ignore scores or engagement indicators, but I almost never commented in the first place. On Lemmy not only is is nicer to comment and interact because of the audience, it is interesting to know that a couple people or a couple dozen people agreed/disagreed, or that it resonated with them, etc.
And you have to love how my suggestion got ZERO buy in around here.

It’s just the amount of effort to build an audience requires not having a life so well adjusted/normal people don’t get into it
