Yes, I have been told that there is a cost for comments and talking, but it seems that so many comments on post are from automated machines. I think it might be worth the price to have real human engagement on my posts, as that is really what I think I am here to enjoy. Thank you for always looking out for me. You really are a great help :-)
Someday, I might wander away from steemit and onto the other places where people talk, but for now, I will always say hi to you in comments here! I rather enjoy it :-)
