RE: Unpopular Opinion...
Nice self reflection there. I think we all act like that, very few are totally altruistic - which is fine. I have the same relationship with Taraz, I read a lot of his and we exchange comments frequently, but it's rare that he comments on my posts - which I totally get. Same with you and other legacy accounts. But when I get a comment from Taraz or any of the others, I'm always double happy about it.
But it is also true that I read and curate more of the people that genuinely comment on my posts. There is always some nepotism and bias. And it's fine, as long as it's natural and not vote trading or such.

Yes, I agree with that. The times he does comment it is always appreciated and very insightful. I also agree with the bias. I think that is just part of a social network. I also hold the controversial belief that circle jerks aren't a bad thing. I think they are the natural evolution of relationships is a social network, but that is a controversial view as well!
Hm, I don't think we have to be super neutral. The ones that comment on my blogs are usually the ones that have the same interests, and still some very interesting discussions spin out of that. And when there is the basis of knowing the parts in common, it's also a lot easier to accept the differences and consider them as a valid input, and not treating them as "bad". It's not like Hive is a bubble where everyone just supports everything, at least not in my "jerk circle". Different opinions and views are generally very welcomed and explored.
