One of the reasons I do it is because it’s fun actually debating people and exchanging ideas. That simply wasn’t even possible anymore on Reddit in the last four years or so.
I love the heck out of my regular commenters. I might be the foundation of a community, but without the people commenting, it’s still an empty house. It needs the people there having fun to be a place that will keep attracting people. I’ve always put at least as much effort into making people that do comment feel appreciated for doing so, and I think that’s why I’ve found relative success on a very niche topic, as I focus on educational content rather than the major focus on more general jokes that a wider audience can more easily enjoy.
Nice! Commenting is the hardest part and the most vital to community.
I’m nearing half that on this 3 month old account, I’d hate to think what my total has been over all instances these past 2 years.
wait… is it? it’s all i do.
I think so. It’s easier to share a link than it is to think up a meaningful or engaging reply.
It’s even easier to lurk and just look at the funny memes. A post with no comments gives the poster no encouragement or feedback.
yeah but replies are seen by few, posts by many, so you need to think much more about relevancy.
In that case, thank you for your service!
