I have often wondered if it was an artist thing (a lot of the other artists I've spoken to liked upvotes for obvious reasons as most of them probably came for the money like everyone else, but generally preferred comments to bigger upvotes), seems that perhaps it's a most people thing?

Meanwhile I often wonder if people are enjoying the serenity when I go radio silent for whatever reason but it seems that some people actually miss my rambling XD

I don't do podcasts, my brain just stops processing audio after a while (even though I can still hear it fine).
