I kind of get what you mean, but if comments become ‘obligatory’ (
effectively obligatory, I mean) doesn’t that cast some doubt upon the genuine nature of them?
They become ‘form’ responses, shurely? I’ll admit that I don’t comment on
every pic I see. And I don’t see
every pic. If I see a pic that is lovely, or impressive, or that I just really really like, I’ll say something. Otherwise, generally, not.
Because if good manners imply comments, then I might point everyone to the three shots I have up and the dearth of complimentary comments on them
I don’t take lack of comments as lack of anything other than either sight or interest.
