how should you react to someone who leaves a heart on your post but doesn't answer it

i get this often on SW, someone who will leave a heart on my post or some other stupid emoji, but not actually respond to my question or post? and that really annoys me.......it's like i have this thing where i want to be in control of other people and make them do more than what they are doing? because i think what they are doing or the way that person is reacting to my post is not enough.

what do you do?

Here's the way SW often works: people will view and read your posts, and if they have no idea what to say in response, OR they fear that their response MIGHT hurt your feelings, they simply "heart" your post. I've also noticed that some people heart everything...no exceptions.

I post a LOT of political jokes...and I have ten to twenty emoji responses at times, but there might only be TWO people who actually REPLY.

The way I FEEL about this is GRATEFUL for each and every emoji. Emojis are NOT stupid. I LOVE the laughing emojis on my joke posts, for instance.

The fact that you can't feel GRATEFUL that someone even READ your post and emojied it says to me that you have very unrealistic expectations of the human race.
