Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…
The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.
This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

The world could use more random ass-comments
I really just prefer genuine content personally. We don't need to astroturf the site.
You don't understand how my comment is related to yours?
You definitely didn't considering your responses.
You did not say that, you said "The more random ass comments the better", which I disagree with.
If you're insulted because I implied your comments aren't genuine, I'm sorry. Genuine is a very subjective word "natural" might have been a better choice. So to reiterate, I really just prefer natural content personally. We don't need to astroturf the site.
Baby I can change.. 💙
