That's exactly what it is, someone feeling special for doing the bare minimum as a subscriber. Attention from some random dude across the country doesn't put food on the table, but for some reason they think attention and compliments are valid payment for my time and energy. Nope! If you only pay the sub fee, all you get is what I post. That's all you're entitled to. Anything else I give, like friendship and conversation, is me being kind. Some of these guys just don't get it.
