There are people who have some popularity outside of Steem, and when they get here, their popularity rockets them to good rewards from the get go. They have good material. But then they don't engage in the comments on their posts. It seems that interaction with your supporters in comments doesn't seem to matter to these high-profile popular users. Yet, they keep getting rewards just for dumping content on Steem. Just posts, no interaction with the community (or very little).
They post daily or every few days, getting upvotes and high-rewards, yet they don't reply to the comments from their supporters. What gives? Why doesn't their level of interaction factor in to people who support them?
People who go through their content are taking that time to do so presumably, and then they take the time to comment. I understand not all comments might be contributing relevant additions to the topic. But all comments aren't just fodder. I have a backlog of being 1 day to 2-3 days behind on some posts for me to reply to comments and upvote them (been busy with girlfriend in evening so time to comment gets cut). So I understand if that's the case of having a backlog and not getting to comment replies right away, but it's not the case, as they have week- or month-long no commenting.
You can go see their #comments page and check to see when they last made a comments. They may have made 6 posts in the past week, or 6 in the past two weeks, and get comments, but their last comment is sometimes 6 days ago, 10 days ago, 2 weeks ago. One accounts I saw recently, 
I appreciate the knowledge of many posts. But when I see that they don't even care to interact with the commenters who leave them support, I am left a bit disheartened by their behavior. I am left wondering if they should be getting the support they do -- the rewards they do, when they don't seem to care to interact on the platform at all beyond posting.
Many users are just doing hit-and-run posts, and not responding to comment or interacting on the platform in other ways. They get rewards and are happy I'm sure. Why reward others when they essentially ignore the community of supporters who interact with their content? Engaging in the platform to get rewards apparently doesn't matter in order to get rewarded, at least for some users. If you're popular, you can do hit-and-run posting and reap the rewards without caring to interact with your supporters. Sure, they might be (probably are) busy, but is that a valid excuse to ignore your supporters?
People are free to vote how they want. I am bringing to light some behavior I have issues with. Does anyone else have issue with this, or is it just me? I'd like to see well-rewarded posters care more about their supporters. Maybe all of the users doing the upvoting/rewarding can take this into account, whether they want to support hit-and-run posters that much or not. Is the content all that matters, or does their interaction on the platform with their supporters matter at all when you support them with an upvote?
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
