Commenting is a fantastic way to build up some SP when just starting out here, when I have the time to create quality comments I am always rewarded. Even when we don't build votes, we build connections that might support us the entire time we are here, which could be more valuable than a bigger vote! People seem to forget that life is all about relationship, whether it's a quick relationship of discussing a post, or a lasting one where you discuss post after post and start talking on discord and learning about the person. Comment as often as you can!
