Why I comment

Commenting is a habit so I will always leave a comment behind. It can be a tip, a link or idea, a thought or something else. Even if I have no clue what the author writes there's always something that I see that makes me wonder (title, size of photos, a part of the text, hashtags). Perhaps I say what I see/feel if I read a text

Did comments help me?

Some with tips and advice, others with info I was looking for and the best of all is I made a few friends through commenting (I will ignore those who envy and hateful people).
I always try to reply to every comment unless these are comments like: Okay, Fine, Next time, Thank you and AI-generated comments.
I spend many hours per day commenting.

@cryptopie is an excellent commenter. He always answers and has great, informative stories to tell. I like to read and answer "chat" with him. His comments are as good as his posts.

@grebmot is a great commenter (don't believe him if he says he is just blabbering, it isn't true). I find him interesting, love to read whatever he writes and his comments are not different from his posts .

@suryati1 is a good commenter. I like to read her comments and we discuss topics and also other parts of life wherever the talk leads us.

@vipnata is another great commenter. She shows interest and a few times I wasn't able to answer her in one comment because I reached the max of characters.

@greatketty is a good commenter although her comments are short she engages with many just like @mamamasha which is the whole idea of social media.

@aneukpineung78 is good, and sharp and through his comments I know him (he tends to show up where I am and notices the same which I find cool and is good for a laugh).

@gems.and.cookies mainly comments. He is the drive behind the #photochain and is always ready to leave a message behind (humour included). To me, people like him are worth gold and comment contests and also communities should have people like him welcoming Steemians, giving hints and sharing info where it's needed.

There are more commenters although they don't all write long "epistles". A part of them leave a comment behind and answer a reply. Others seem not to have time for that or perhaps internet data/connection or a busy life plays a role.

@the-gorilla is a great commenter and entertaining and so are a few others I leave a comment or reply to.
Some are at times absent for weeks like @rokhani and @cicisaja or they stop talking to me
I noticed there's also a group that does comment but mainly talks to one or two others and that's it. The reason?
On average I can say that those I leave a message do reply (sooner or later which is fine) except for those who use AI to send me a comment.

Some people rarely comment but do write great comments if I ask them about their skills/talents. I don't see any difference if it comes to the most known communities or the Korean or Chinese. If you know where to look you see in these communities they comment too and I start to believe they are more active than the most "famous" communities we know.

Who are those willing to comment?

I tend to say those with brains, a strong will and creative people are the real commenters (not the AI users or those who say in short what your post was about which feels very impersonal). They all have some skills even if they say the opposite.

On the other hand, I also see creative people who find it hard to comment and promote themselves because? I could say these are all introverts but this isn't always the case. Some might go for the quick post and see Steemit as an extra opportunity to post the same piece of art or see it as storage, others might have learned that after years of being on this platform, one rarely receives a comment.

and yes, @adeljose you and @joslud are good commenters as well.


_P.s. I won't give the names of the others because you will take the commenters I found and write to to upvote which gives me a lot of extra work! LOL
