I think that we all know that some things we just cant provide input on besides the verbal indicator that we're paying attention.
Great Idea! Wow! IDK! Cool! Bump! Double Bump!
Do these pats on the back add anything though? No, so I say and follow the motto of yester-years, "Shut up and listen, read or watch!"
Freeriding in an online environment is a harmless crime; unless your talking about stealing content that is not meant to be pilfered.
"If you don't know and/or would like to learn more, click here." We've seen derivations of this statement written in various places and I think that online communities ultimately are for this purpose.
I think that in order for people to truly benefit from online communities they should be able to sit back and wait for the topic that calls them to 'publish a post' or 'comment'.
So, to those freeriders who would like to learn more stick around and read, don't feel pressured to contribute because though you may not post or comment, hopefully you learn something that will allow you to contribute to society.
