I like these plots! Interesting stuff!
If you want to comment more, do thoughtful comments that show you read the post and are interested
It would be interesting to see the same plot with only comments of a certain minimal length.
This is what we do to find engaging comments for our @topcomment curation service.
This filters out all the 'great blog' comments.
Then still you have the spam accounts and the microblogging posts that are technically comments, but aren't necessarily engaging. We filter those out as well.
This might give you a different graph!
I don't think length should be a metric:)
for example, compare this length to your length :)
would you call me a spammer?
I think length can tell a lot about the quality of a comment. A comment of two words will probably not be really engaging.
that is your opinion :)
When twitter was twitter; this comment with 20 words got 3.5M likes. When any comment by any hiver that is 20 words gets there please wake me up :)
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion..."
If someone posts 50 comments a day, only sharing "Great post" comments I don't think that is engaging.
And that is indeed my personal opinion indeed.
There is a big gap between 2 and 20 words.
And a long comment doesn’t mean that it is and engaging and high quality one either.
You can't filter objectively on quality.
exactly my point
I can filter and evaluate when I read a comment based on context, so can you.
But I don't want an algorithm to determine that and make decision on it
