Granted, I'm not speaking from a business owner POV, but there are some folks - as nice as they are -that tend to always send me the canned responses, and while I appreciate that little point of engagement, I prefer a wordier comment or a comment that leads to genuine conversation, sure. One person - she's a nice gal! - but when I get an alert that she's commented on my photo, I know it's going to be the same canned 'So yummy" comment...because she's sent me that comment 100 times before. (If I counted, that would likely be close to the actual number!) It does drive me a little batty, though I do try to engage her more through a follow-up comment...which is usually just replied to with a smiley-face emoji. Hey, I did my due diligence by that point, ha!

Of course, I'm guilty of sending the heart-eyes emoji as a comment every now and then; for me, I tend to do it when I genuinely like a piece of content, but no longer have the mental power that day to come up with something more verbose. Ha! Though I do understand the point you're making here. :-)
