This is fact!

Thoughtful comments are really essential. It doesn't only attract and keep readers but also make you, the commenter enjoys a sense of sharing your thoughts and experiences inline with that of the author.

Earlier today, I remember making a long comment on article that I read. It was 173 words comment. Besides, I, the commenter found the comment fascinating, then I copied it to my Note pad and converted the comment into a long form article which I'm yet to publish.

I can even re-format the comment and publish it as a short-form content, but I decided to make it long because I've got bunch of inspiration to add into it.

I believe the comment section is a place:

1. Where we add our opinions or perspectives to that of the author.
2. Where we get inspirations from.
3. For ideation.
4. Where we interact with like-minded individuals.

The comment section is a place where expansion on an idea take place. It a place where we see people disagreeing and agreeing. These are but a few of the reasons for actively engaging in the comment section and making thoughtful comments.

Not just some sort of one line comment—I do this sometimes, but only when the idea is new to me and I'm just leaning. Then I can drop a line to show appreciation.

But there are people who have what to say about and idea. But laziness won't allow them.

Oh! My comment is already getting longer. I can even turn this into a full blown article. This is what I love doing recently.

It might not take you up to 10 minutes or 15 to do something like fhis.

Thoughtful comments are better appreciated than generic ones.

Thank you for taking the time write such an article. I think this is a wake up call to readers and voracious readers.

I know I currently do not have the subscription to read all of this article but this line deeply resonated with me.
