A lot of times I hesitate to comment on something partly because I don't really have much to say about the post. If I read it and like it, I vote on the post but seldom comment. This is especially true on something like photography and art which I enjoy looking at but don't really have much to say about. It feels like comments like, "Looks good!" or "I like it!" sometimes even cause the author to get a bit jaded and don't add much to the post if the motivation for leaving such comments is not clear.

As an author I have even seen people leave really positive comments yet not even vote for the post or leave such a small vote with low steem power that you wonder about the intention of them. (I think a lot of this type of thing could be the result of automated processes, or misunderstanding how things work.)

In any case I do enjoy commenting and engaging with others a lot more than I did initially and the recent changes haven't really changed my behavior much.
