That is true, but ref reports can definitely be nightmares, especially in niche areas where only 3-4 groups qualify to ref something. And some journals can be particularly bad about the feedback, especially some of the lower tier journals, but I guess that's why some people go to the low impact journals...

I would also guess that most social media like comments would be "have you seen my paper vaguely related the topic", which is not ultra-useful.

But if you could somehow emulate the conference feel, where people are constantly walking up to you and saying "oh this is neat, I think Prof. X is working on something similar, you should find him," that would be optimal.
