Yeah, I understand that. And that’s alright. I might reach a point someday when I cannot respond to each and every individual comment either.
But I think there’s a big difference between that and just plain out refusing to ever engage with your readers. And some of the superstars are doing precisely that.
PS: You probably know, but just in case, on desktop it’s possible to only see the notifications related to comments. You do that by clicking on the notification bubble and then clicking on the “Responses” tab. So it’s possible to scan through responses without having to also go through all the noise from other types of notifications.
