I think that seeing the different photographic styles and also locations makes the images more interesting.
I agree, diversity is good, we all have own styles and the localities influence the species available too.
It would be sad to see any of you abandoning posting, for any reason.
The question of commenting is a difficult one, I comment when I see an image which resonates with me, the fact I don't always comment doesn't mean I don't like the image, but countless 'liking' are pretty bland and can clutter the thread with chatter detracting from the images. I recently (mistakenly) joined a star watching forum, not only were images severely limited in size both pixel count and quality, members are also actively discouraged from complimenting the poster, which amazes me because the work required to produce high quality astro images is astounding. The forum admin regard complimentary posts as post count farming, according to their rules you can be barred for doing it???
I think the proof of success of this thread lies in the topic views count and that is down to the high quality of the images.
