I believe commenting is importamt since without there's no way to connect and there's a small chance to be noticed. Unnoticed means no rewards/votes.
But even if you know people and chat it's hard to receive upvotes or upvote every post. I see that with #wewrite #miner-wewrite and also this contest. My voting power is not that high that I can give 1 or better 5$.☹️

Should you better comment than post?
If it comes to it I don't see the benefits of daily posting. It might be the case with those receiving their "interest" or payback for delegating SP but that's not what I receive/do.
We could ask @gems.and.cookies. He mainly comments.

It can be easier to write a quick post but to me speaking a few peoole is more valuable then a post where no one comments and the reward is 0.20 (mainly because of SBI from years ago and a part of the rewards goes to curators - those giving me an upvote unlike upvotes given on comments).

When did you start on Steemit?
How come the support is that low? It feels as if you are very active. 🤔
Do votes alswaus go to the same or is it more that not many have voting power?

BTW: if you don't like to invite or it feels like pressure don't. It's up to you and so is the time you spend on Steemit. Do what feels good for you. Even with good rewards you are not at someone's payroll.
