Opinions, who's still writing them?

[Stryker]

I immediatly (Well, not immeditaly, but whenever I get to reading my profile) leave comments on opinions people have given on my vids. Although, I have one opinion on my one vid, but over 180 downloads..strange, isn't it? Lots of people download videos, but then never leave opinions.

You think having over 180 d/l's without a opinion is bad , I got one that has over 1000 d/l's and just got it's first comment only a bout a week ago.

I'm doing opinions!! I'm even going to try something in the Opinion exchange forum where I post a monthly thread for opinions and exchanges. I seem to have had a good response for it as well. I'm even giving new creators a chance like some of us never had when we were starting up. But someone has to do it right!? ^_^

So many people just don't feel that they need to take the time to write an opinion, when there are other people doing it. The common: Why should I do it, if someone else is going to do it anyways. Also, there are a lot of people who write opinions, but don't say anything usefull at all. Things like:
Good
-Everything.

Bad
-Nothing.

General
-Loved it.

I sincerely don't think that this is helping anybody.

Yes, I agree it's not useful feedback in terms of learning from it, but at least someone took the time to leave something (and it states that they really loved it – better that then nothing at all). That why I just as much enjoy a few sentences of feedback via e-mail just as well since quite a few (including myself) just don't like to write a lot. I do however do like to give reviews and feedback but it just more easier verbally or in a short summary rather than having to write lots of sentences.
