I think the sentiment you describe has more to do with alignment of interests: Starbucks wants to sell you coffee, free online services on the other hand want to sell access-to-you to some third party. There also aren't the same network effects. No one feels obligated to visit Starbucks even though they dislike it due to all their friends/family only conversing at Starbucks.

> Starbucks wants to sell you coffee, free online services on the other hand want to sell access-to-you to some third party. That's exactly the business model of shopping malls.

I fully acknowledge I may be the odd one out here, as I find any repeated action like this quickly becomes either noise that gets ignored or creates a sense of…

Everyone is slightly different.

I am the type that likes saying good morning and telling people to have a good weekend on chat.

This is largely for myself. It makes me feel like I am part of the team. It is how I would interact on any team I am part of.

Most other people on the team don't respond and that is perfectly fine. I would say I am more the odd one out than you though. You sound more like the average person who thinks it is kind of stupid so doesn't respond.
