Yes, that is what I mainly mean. And you are not alone.

The real human comments are rare on the Steem blockchain.

Why? Because the majority of the users are focusing only on their own blog posts, and they do not care about other people's blog posts. The selfishness and the greed of the majority of the users are ruining the Steem blockchain.

There are 59 675 posts in the first week of 2020, but the average number of comments is only 3.38. The sad truth is the fact that there are no real community on the Steem blockchain. Some people are do interacting with others, and some of them are even trying to arrange some community, but the number of the daily active users is constantly decreasing (dropping/falling) since months.
