To answer the question, I don’t think one should feel obligated. Look, I understand the point of lurve. I have fallen victim to it like we all have to a point. But when it comes to how i dole it out, I prefer to give it to newer jellies so they feel the same “high” we all first felt. Like if someone has like 34 lurve and they give a thoughtful, well worded answer, I’ll GA them. Then I’ll send a PM to them telling how much I appreciated their thoughtful response, and welcoming them to the collective.
I’m less likely to GA someone with high lurve who acounts for 6 of the 8 responses to a question that’s 30 minutes old. (No matter how good the answer is)
