    I dunno if people would post so much for upvotes alone. Comments are nice, and I get friendly ones pretty frequently on my posts, and try to leave just as many on others posts :)

    Edit: wait, I think I just wooshed myself

      It was mostly curmudgeonly humor, but really it does take less effort in general to make comments than it does to make posts. So it would make sense that it would see less of a dip when people are busy. It’s easy to just jump on and make a few comments or participate in a discussion than to put the effort into making a post of some kind.

      It really depends on the kind of person, though. I’d imagine some people find it easier to provide content than to comment on it or respond to others doing so.
