I don't want to do them too often as I think people might be under the impression I am overly negative. I am, but I don't want them to have that impression ;)

It is all about relationships and even though (like I mentioned you in the other post) people don't need to be completely personal, in my opinion, they should put some of themselves into it otherwise there is no relationship. If one is living off steem, investing into the audience is imperative.
