That unnecessary comma makes this read like a command

I actually like it, but, I suppose, I like to use commas.

Commas are great for lists, and for combining two sentences into one using a conjunction like and, or, but, etc.; like I just did.

If you made each side of the comma a sentence then arguably neither would make a complete sentence.

In your opinion, were there too many commas in my original comment? (Serious question)

Edit: just because I'm curious. I like my writing to be at least somewhat proper.
