Yea, that’s what I was trying to imply by being “self aware”. Since I realize I have nothing original to add, I just won’t say it.

The amount of comments I half write and then scrap is probably nearly the amount I actually post.
Does this add value or is it just taking up bytes? Am I relatively sure what I am stating is correct? Will this impact the person I am replying to, or the other readers more than not commenting at all?
And those are just first order questions before I even start to get frustrated with language structures or phrasing my thoughts in a way that is accurate.

I am the same way, if I write something, I try to make it a complete, and informative statement.
IMO this trend started with Twitter 10+ years ago, where short messages were equivalent of shouting into the crowd, and more frequent shouts got more retweets. Then there was the trend of “first” comments, glad that is mostly gone.
