I read far more than I comment on. Sometimes I enjoy relaxing and reading (I'm not there to engage in comments) and sometimes I don't have anything to add to the conversation.

I find it intriguing what gets a response: the two posts with the most engagement were fairly short and off-the-cuff, probably took me less than fifteen minutes. One was about fish and chips and the other was about my button box!

I hear a lot of gripes about auto-voting. I find it a useful tool to support authors I want to see on Hive and I want to stick around. They've usually been here a while and I see it as similar to a subscription. Probably about a quarter to a third of my voting power is auto-voting.
