They have much to answer for.
We live in a democracy. So what any citizen over the age of 18 thinks actually does impact me, and I do care what they think. It's not just a matter of being nice or reciprocal - it's a matter of productive discourse. Discourse happens, and it changes people's views, and it changes people's decisions. If done right.
In a democracy, people's views are a tool. A currency.

It's kind of like clapping to keep Tinkerbell alive. We all have to do it and with great enthusiasm.
Uh huh. Because self-reflection and intellectual curiosity is usually someone's reaction to an overwhelming gang of haters in a hostile situation.
