Even with my reduced schedule, I still put out a great deal of content here. And I have a nice number of people and a couple of trails voting for me. And that's nice. If the currency ever rises, it can even be very nice. But I'm getting very few comments. Almost no personal comments from actual people. And I've been wondering: Is anyone actually reading my posts? Am I shouting into the void? I get more human engagement on my moderation posts for @utopian-io than I do for my posts here.

I try to create quality content. Informative, with opinion and entertainment thrown in for funsies. People have told me that they find my work to be of high quality. But are they still coming in to read?
I also follow a few trails myself. And since my VP is regularly used, I've found that I don't read nearly as many posts as I used to. Basically, it's the posts I moderate for Utopian and almost nothing else. So if there's an epidemic of not reading the posts, I'm a part of it. But I do see people getting engagement on their posts. Getting comments and a conversation. Is it because I'm not engaging much outside of my moderating duties?
So, basically, if any of y'all actually read this, could you comment on this post, please? I would super appreciate that. I don't need theories on why others don't comment, but if you want to tell me why you don't, especially on the daily posts, I'd be thankful.
