Well it is certainly true that the best way to ensure engagement on your own posts, is to engage with other users. Anyone who is moaning about lack of engagement, but is not themselves going out there and reading / commenting, doesn't have a leg to stand on. BTW LOL you probably already figured this out but probably not the smartest thing to tag Bernie while calling him out in a negative way :) Hopefully he doesn't choose to nuke your blog. But in all seriousness, you could have easily just thrown away all future earnings you could have ever made on this blog - if he wants to make an example out of you he will set up his flag accounts to auto flag all your posting. And he does that, all the time, sometimes with less provocation than this.
