100 times yes. To me, sim leagues are a bit more than "watching my dot on the field", "how many HRs did I hit" or "how many goals did it score". I want the players I talk to (especially people who could be doing their first sim league ever) to have a fantastic experience, especially in the beginning of their career. Player retention is huge for any sim league. It a lot more fun to feel wanted and treated like a young superstar in a sport than just another new person. Even when I have zero time IRL, I still make time to message new players in SHL.
