This is true.
This is where reciprocity naturally tends to happen. You don't need to force anything.
We are inherently social as human beings.
So don't expect people to look at your direction when you choose to act like a one man squad.
But when you carry people along, you're creating recognition for yourself. And this what we do in the comment section.
We carry each other along when we engage actively and thoughtfully in the comment section.
To socialize is to be community oriented. When you're community centric, you tend to gain the visibility and validation you deserve.
When you begin to see social platforms as a physical place where you have to mingle with others, you'll understand why you should be effectively engaging with others in online communities.
In physical enviroments like events, workplaces, stadiums, cenimas, churchs, etc, we meet people, we exchange contact with fhem, we network, we build relationships and at the end serves as a means of opportunity for us, which could ultimately be job opportunities or collaborations, and other substantial benefits.
The same thing happens here.
Social platforms is a place where like-minded people meet. So fostering such mentality and mindset will help everyone grow and even build a bigger and stronger community.
