I mean, what's the utility of anything, really? An entire human life is a fart in the wind, not even the tiniest blip on a cosmic scale. I comment here because I think I have a different perspective on a thing, and I want to either convince people that my perspective is better or for someone to come along and provide information I hadn't considered so I can be enlightened. Some places I comment to make people laugh, or to get that warm feeling that comes from knowing that you said a thing and other people liked it, because my monkey brain is wired to give me that feeling when I socialize successfully. You've got hundreds or maybe thousands of comments here yourself, so I assume this is more "I am genuinely interested in hearing people's reasons for commenting" than a rhetorical "Why do you idiots persist in wasting your time doing this stupid pointless thing", so maybe you can return the favor: Why do you comment?
