I feel the opposite. If someone goes on an "Ask" community and is responding to most answers, it feels like they're trying to push an agenda. The polite thing, in my mind, is upvote the answers you get and only respond to ask clarifying questions or maaaaybe say thanks if anything is particularly insightful or helpful.
While of course i have a reason for posting this thread just like everyone else's always does. It'd be really weird not having an abnormally high reply rate giving the spirit of my post lol. I could have gone the other way and intentionally replied to zero people as a joke.
Under normal conditions i would do like you say, just not for this post for obvious reasons.
edit: also, some people are just more invested or friendly, they might want some conversation. I do realise you are taking a stab at me, but its ok to chat a bit.
Not trying to take a stab; trying to share a different perspective.
