totally agree! i said it in my post as well, when i am about to make a comment, that means that i have already read and upvoted the post. Also, to read a post i must find it interesting. If not then i don't care even if i would earn 10 leo rewards from it.
To sad thing is that by being 4 years in this platform i can easily understand who read my post/half of it/nothing as well as which accounts comment for the sake of visibility and upvotes. (and we are talking of known authors :P)
that's life though :P

It happens. Some people are just there for the visibility. You would know if people really read your post if the comment was relevant to the topic beyond vague congratulations. I don't even get comments on my art posts and the phenomenon is quite common among communities. Leo community has more engagement on an average user's post which is good.
Sometimes there are posts that I find interesting but not really compel me to upvote it. We are conditioned to believe that upvote = compliment. This is the culture of the blockchain where posts/comments can gain monetary incentives. I don't like that kind of conditioning even if it benefits me. To the other party, you're conditioning them into thinking each time they interact with you, you get money and when there is a failure to follow up on that reward, the dopamine doesn't kick in and it contributes to bad experience between user interaction. I like the unpredictability of being rewarded when I comment.
