It has to be authentic, you can't just comment to comment.

That's just not true. I've made comments that I thought desirve no reply but humans find a way. If there's no comments to read the shared content just isn't that interesting. If I see comments then the shared content must be interesting enough to justify a discussion.

I can agree with that, but being authentic definitely helps the conversations take off.

Of course it helps. But some of my shitty comments are scaping the bottom of the barrel of my knowledge or patience with the replier...

I comment because I crave validation from Internet strangers.
