Description There are many people who never reply to comments. This can gives the impression to the viewers that the comments aren't being read and acknowledged, which can lead to feelings of alienation. This is not good. Even feedback deserves feedback.

That's not to say I want people to reply to every comment they get, just at least some of them. Look for a balance. I myself try to reply to every comment my deviations get, but it's also good to cut the conversation short at some point.

That's a direct screencap of the Reply button that shows up beside comments, with the surrounding area filled in with the same color.

Yes, this always bugs me too. Or it gets to me when the reply is like a month late. :/ It feels like you just didn't care enough to respond or something, therefore, what I said didn't mean all that much to you. Bugs me.

I try to reply to every comment I get too. xD Plus, I just love comments, so of course I'd happily reply to them. Haha!

I read every comment. But when you get tons of them it's hard to reply to them all - especially when you get a lot of meaningless one-liner comments. I only reply to thoughtful comments that people actually took time on.

Like I said, I'm not trying to make anyone reply to all their comments, just some of them.

I agree with the stamp, but... when is there a point when you have to stop replying as the stack of messages is a lot.

You're absolutely right about that!
Not that you have to comment on my comment, of course, but it's good you remind me of the every-comment-deserves-a-comment-philosophy

Great thoughts, thanks for sharing them ^^
