I'm a bit rusty, but I think they are technically correctly placed— they separate many dependent clauses, interruptors and a time phrase from one independent clause at the beginning. The sentence is too structurally complex, though. My very strict undergraduate intro to expository writing class required using commas like this but it's definitely passé.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoI have no opinion on the technical correctness of the sentence. But I know I would do a lot to avoid writing such sentence in my own writing, and that I would stop reading anything that hits me with such a monstrosity in the opening paragraph.
- chefandy 4y agoRight. It's too structurally complex but it's not the comma's fault.
