Bubbles are definitely an issue, but the original point is pretty far off from reality as they said.

You'd have to respond to every second comment if people held to the 2:1 ratio on the internet.

What's the ratio? 1:9:90? or something along those lines.

1:2 is amazing engagement.

If the response counts as a comment, then that ratio is impossible to fulfill - although in that interpretation it'd be impossible to fulfill IRL as well, so I don't think we can use comments vs replies as a metric, unless you only count root-level comments as "talking" and sub-root comments as "listening", in which case I feel like the ratio does hold true
