You have 500 people friended? Wow. That is a lot of journals. I generally assume that anyone with over 200 or so friends is doing a lot of their reading on filters, because there are only so many hours in a day, you know? Knowing that people read on filters doesn't bother me at all, especially if people are upfront about it.
About comments, what's true for me (and maybe other people as well) is that there are lots of people I like reading, but feel like I don't know well enough to, say, leave comments on posts about their personal life or whatever. So I tend not to comment because I don't want to intrude. (I realize that 'intruding' is hard to define on the internet, but I'm talking about my gut feeling and not what makes good logical sense.)
