I think I can speak for most of us who write on HIVE when I say we do not just write for rewards. We write because we want to share our ideas and experiences with other people. The best way for writers to see our writing being read is when we receive comments. However, there are some bad comment habits I would like to address to help other Hive users, new and old alike, better engage with other authors.
