Unless I have something meaningful to say about a topic, I won't leave a comment about it. Posting just for the sake of posting doesn't really make for an interesting conversation. And given how niche/technical many topics here are, I suspect that's true for most people. They'll discuss things they're interested in, and pass by things they have no interest or knowledge of. This is also why political topics tend to blow up here as far as comment count goes, since it's much easier to give your two cents about how Musk is destroying Twitter than to talk about the latest in astrophysics from a research paper.
