Do you ever leave comments on the stuff you watch, read and listen to? If not, you’re in good company. Hardly any of us reach the bottom of the pages we’re reading, let alone leave comments on what we consume. Publishers don’t like comment sections either: they chomp up staff time and mess with content creator mental health.
