RE: Commenting - waste of time
That I wish I could do too resteeming a comment. Pity that option isn't given.
If it comes to voting comments the long ones we upvote higher than a post. Why because I notice that if I upvote comments I have to do that with a higher percentage than if I upvote with the same amount on a post!
There are many great, super long, and informative comments and one leads to the next. I go from comment to replies, see a new name, and read again the comments and replies and you read completely different content. Photos, videos, great reports, interaction, engagement everything you don't see if you only see a post. Not many will read the comment section which is kind of a pity but also understandable because that load button isn't easy and if you read one comment and want to go back to the comment section you have to scroll the entire list again. Can be this is only with phones but it's not easy and at times my eyes hurt if I scroll down fast to see the second page of the comment section.
The best to get a laptop, you will be able to write more and it will be more enjoyable :)
