I notice that i receive a lot more likes to my discussions than comments
in fact , there are many who leave nothing but likes, which tells me although they liked my post, they couldn't think of anything to say about it., which kind of confuses me.
if i am interested enough to read your post than 9 out of 10 times ,i will leave a comment unless there are so many replies there's a good chance i would only be repeating what someone has already said
So, how about you, do you receive more likes than comments ? and also do you think you comment and like equally on others posts?

If I read a discussion I try to leave a comment about it. Sometimes I don't have anything to say. I just like it to let the person know that I read it. For the most part though I do leave a comment.

like you,i very rarely leave nothing but likes.
if i'm interested in the discussion i will always leave a comment as well as a like.
the only time i might just leave a like is when there are lots of replies and if i commented i would most likely be repeating what someone already said.

for me, it would be better to have more comments than likes, because interaction happens when a thread starts in a discussion. i had a post with more comments than likes.

@ridingbet Absolutely!
i just wish some members would read the guidelines and understand that interaction is what Mylot is all about and not just posting discussions one right after the other

@jujunme that is true, and it means the viewers have something to say about the discussion posted. although there may be contradictions, participation and interaction still makes a discussion viable, right?

I pass by posts i have no interest in since i don't think i can contribute much to the persons discussion so, when you say you ''try to always leave a comment'' do you leave comments on posts you don't necessarily like? that's a pretty nice thing to do

@jujunme No i do skim through and comment those i am intertested in, and those of people i generally like reading, but if i have already read the post i am going to comment before leaving usually.

Well, if someone just likes my comment that's ok with me. However, it's hard to further a discussion in that case. I will always attempt to comment if the post stimulates a thought in me. Sometimes nothing comes to mind, but I still enjoy the post
I guess if my posts don't generate a lot of responses I figure the topic was not provocative enough. But, that's ok, I like to share ideas and also inform my readers. Say la vie

Whether it's ''likes'' or comments it still means the reader showed an interest in your post and it could be that even though they liked the topic they just can't think of anything to contribute or what they wanted to say has already been said. Either way, it shows that your post or discussion generated an interest and that's always good

@dgobucks226 Right!
and it's funny, but,this post was made months ago and yet it's receiving more comments now than when i first posted it. so you never know if or when someone may show an interest in something you wrote.

@jujunme Agree, you might get a lot of people viewing your post without any of them responding.

@jujunme It is the other way around for me. I receive more comments/responses than likes.

I rarely write discussions and when I do I normally get more responses than likes.
I think the last one was 56 responses 42 likes if I remember rightly.
So I have the opposite to you

@Mike197602 i was just kidding ! somehow the rest of my response to you didn't post , i don't mind the 'likes' at all i just feel if someone takes the time to read and like a post, leaving a comment is simple
