I agree. I have sometimes had 200 upvotes and 0 comments. I would have rathered 1 upvote, no payout and 1 comment that informs me that someone actually bothered to read the article or chapter I just spent an entire day or more preparing.
I have upvoted and resteemed this because I like the message you're conveying.
