Lol, well, I don't have the energy to fight on that, enjoy your confusing hill. I've seen people do "signal boosts."

Buddy, right now I've got two people I don't subscribe to writing comment fic about Clint and Bucky in the ball pit in the comments of the post you linked to. People back and forthing happens all the time. People who do big posts that hit three-digit comments will often say they won't reply, or will only reply to top level comments, and then everyone else just sort of... carries on. I've seen a fic notif post end up with an argument about what the right latin word for blowjobs is, random asides about the origins of tumblr memes, and all kinds of stuff.

Comments sections are wild!
