Some UHHers send thank you to everyone who responds to their postings, some don’t respond to only a few, some not to any.
What do you think 🤔?

It's the internet, doesn't matter one way or another to me.
I try to respond to all, but I don't always, and I don't think people take offense to it. It all depends on if I am doing other things while checking messages.

First of all, it is not that easy to keep checking back in to posts when there is so much else to do in your day then, for the UHH'rs who start thanking people for their comments or responding to them will often miss other comments coming afterwards.

When I post photographs I try to thank each person who has posted something in regard to my photos. When I post something such as a chart or something humorous I will generally post a reply if asked a specific question or to a specific comment. Otherwise I will near the end post something like, Thanks everyone, glad you liked the post.
I was brought up to say thank you to others who have taken their time to comment on my posts. I try to do the same. The very least I can do is to say thank you for looking. But I agree with the OP that many posters never say thank you or say thank you only to a very few people. I suppose many will say I am being picky but a few people who post here often have not once commented thank you when I offer my views. I no longer comment on their photos. But having said that most of us do comment a thank you to viewers.

For most posts, unless there’s something else to say I don’t usually respond because it clutters the thread.

Just check you "watched topics" to track responses.
Some folks are appreciative and will respond accordingly- others don't! Sometimes, taking the time and effort to help others out is a thankless job and sometimes it's rewarding. After a while, you get to know who's who and you can conduct yourself accordingly.
Don't expect accolades, praise, attention or recognition for everything you post- that way, the few sincere responses, comments, PMs and encouragement you DO receive will become more meaningful.

It's polite to give at least a group thanks. It only takes seconds to accomplish, and it's simplest, as Ed points out, to use "watched topics." Clicking your topic within there will take you to wherever you were last - no need to search.
Once I learned that a couple of prolific posters (400+ topics a year) don't bother to acknowledge comments, I stopped commenting on theirs, and eventually stopped looking at all. For me, a particular pleasure of this photography forum is interaction. Otherwise, I could just view pretty pictures via Google Image Search.

I never respond to each separately unless it is a point of discussion. I usually wait a couple of days and post a "thank you" to all in a single post.

Yes, a group thanks is great. I like the interaction, but don’t usually give individual thanks unless there’s follow up.

Perfectly stated.

I wish there were less of it. I waste 2 or 3 seconds clicking on a 'new post' only to find its just a thank you. Give me stats and test results and links to new techniques!

Well now, if you're going to go there, how about all the new comments that are repetitions of previous and/or irrelevant because the poster hasn't read the entire thread. Ah, the agony! 🤣🤣I wish there were less of it. I waste 2 or 3 seconds clicking on a 'new post' only to find its just a thank you...

Well, let's say you wait a few days and post a group thanks. How many posters are going to see that?
