you shouldn't only aim to get seen by the article writer. Read other people's comments and comment there...

What would be great is if people can discuss with each other in the comments section too.

Yup Hive account@soleil-research. I guess we both suffer a pinch of the same discomfort to almost never get a response to our comments. But I also suspect, that this is mostly due to the actual different timeline zone that separate us from the authors we like to comment on in their posts. Therefore we are always late for the live party in their neck of the woods.

For example, every time I leave a comment in one of the posts of Hive account@tarazkp I know that I am interacting with someone in the future. Actually, dealing with someone literally living six and half hours ahead of my time. (Crap! he indeed should give me the winning lottery numbers everyday in advance.) LoL

Hence don't worry. And follow the advice of the quotes I've selected above. Just as I am doing now. You see? Then, that way, we could be a step closer to his next advice. }:)

This would be a win/win as it takes a little pressure off me but more importantly, it builds strong relationships between users.

Cheers!! :)
