My experience is near Class B airports, they really like talking to you. If you are not talking to them, they have no idea what you are going to do and often creates a lot of drama for them and the IFR pilots. If they can coordinate your activity or even know what you intend to do eliminates all that drama.
I often monitor Chicago approach when coming home VFR, without FF, and will jump in when I know they are calling me out as a warning to another IFR pilot. They typically seem quite happy to be talking to me. In order to get into my airport, we fly about 1000' below the two congo lines of jets on approach to ORD, when landing from the West. And when DPA is landing south, my path directly intersects their approaches.
