The comments section is where you can find out if your message is resonating with your audience. Some people will leave upvotes and no comment. That's ok, but they're more likely to come back and upvote again if they comment. Therefore, those are the ones that will bring you the most value long-term. They probably like you and not just your material. That's why it's so important to jump into the comment section (like you do) and comment back.

You're one of the more underrated bloggers here (in my opinion). I think as you continue, you'll keep gaining an audience. The stuff you write about is very applicable in everyday Steeming, no matter which UI is used to post.
