Google will for sure rank Steem lower if they will see it as a dangerous thing!
You were taking about the selflessness of most people here, which is 100% true.
I do appreciate you, taking time to respond to almost all genuine comments, placed on your posts! Which is actually amazing, cause you are always getting a lot of comments on your post. This makes yourself genuine.
Even I, we do have some disagreements about the future, always gets a response.
More people should do this! I hate it when I do place a genuine comment combined with a question without getting a reply. It this happens twice from the some author, I will label him as a money hungry wolf!
So firstly, we maybe should start be getting an even better community, starting the strength ourselves and be prepared for a whole lot of buckets full of FUD!

Thank you for the comment @fullcoverbetting.
At times, it is tough...comments do get lost so there are times I do not reply, not out of spite or malice but because I didnt see the post.
You are right. As I am reading your comment, the words be the change you want to see were coming to my mind. We each have a responsibility, if we are truly to committed to this platform, to do the things necessary. I write frequently about the value of posts...it is something that I also have to put into practice.
Commenting is a huge contribution, on so many levels.
I understand where you are coming from with the not getting replies. There are many who comment on my posts, I will reply, and then nothing. Perhaps they do not see the comment (using Busy.org can alleviate this). Nevertheless, it does become frustrating at times.
I know that you are always trying to reply, so no problem.
Commenting is according to me more valuable, than actually writing the initial post. The initial post, does give the people the chance to interact with the author or other commenters. It's like the fuel of Steemit. It is a shame, that not enough of us see it this way!
I did wrote a post today that Steemit sometimes looks like a circle of friends and that people don't take the effort to expand their circle or try to build a new circle. (you can read on my blog) One of the comments I did receive (@tradurgurl for the idea) is that steem sometimes more looks like a café where everybody shouts a lot of things, but only a few react on questions. I always try to respond on each genuine comment or reply I do receive. Cause we can't call Steemit a social media platform if there is no interaction!
But also in Steemit you can browse through the replies one is getting. So not getting notifications is no excuses, according to me! Sometimes it is hard to know when the interaction has ended or not.
Let's stick together and make Steemit a great place to come. Where people do share different viewpoints and discuss these with respect for another vision!
Depending upon the topic of discussion, there is a lot of wisdom in the comment section...like you said, it is often a more valuable resource than the article itself.
An article is one person's view...the comments can have many people sharing their insights.....
Good analogy...
