Thank you for this fascinating post! A few observations come up. No need to respond, though if anyone has reactions I’d be curious!
Posts or comments that create an obligation to respond are directly incentivized by the ad-based business model currently held by many social media companies for the simple reason that more engagement = more money.
How do you differentiate between a post in which we’re obligated to respond to protect our social currency vs a post where we feel an urge to respond to defend something else, like ideology or tribe?
Can the obligation to respond to a comment be applied to audience members beyond OP? Perhaps this is my ideology or tribal distinction from above
