Yeah, exactly. It's kind of a chicken and the egg problem. Few people are going to comment on you until you go out and comment on them. That may not seem fair, and in some ways it's not, but that is how it works. But I try to do commenting without any expectation that I am going to receive anything in return. I just want to bring some joy to the people I comment on. I know how nice it can be to get a genuine comment on my post, so I want to bring that same joy to other people.
And believe me, that you really make the difference. I never forget that great challenge that "unite" us and make me be in touch with you. A small action can lead to a very important things. To mark other one's day with some joy is cost less, and so much valuable!
I'm glad to hear you say that. That challenge was fun! We should try to do more of those on Hive.
