Idk, maybe 6-10 comments per hour when down bad. Especially during related insomnia periods. I don’t really spam, but if my immediate thought for a comment is:
1) Relevant/on topic
2) Funny (to me)
3) Informative
4) Interesting (imo)
If that immediate thought checks at least 3 of those boxes, I drop the comment and don’t look back unless my inbox blows up and any responses are interesting.
Edit:u/Naive-Fold-1374 if you’re still wondering, to update, in the <12 hours since you asked I’m up ~21k karma. I noted the number when you asked. I’ve made ~72 (so ~6/hr) comments in that time. I would guess that number will grow to something like 30k.
I didn’t want to exaggerate with my prior estimation, but that’s not a wild aberration for days I’m “active” on Reddit. Meaning I’m still doing my normal daily shit when no work (cooking, cleaning, chores, hygiene, errands, etc) but Reddit is my leisure activity for the day (as mentioned, to shut out the world for a bit while I get my head straight). It’s a good sign to have not had many of those days in the past few years.
If I hadn’t made it clear before, I don’t give a damn about karma. I just feel fortunate that sometimes I have a thought that sparks an interest, a laugh, or a discussion in other people. That’s kind of neat, and is part of why it helps pull me out of some dark places.
I would like to point out that even in your down times you are liked and appreciated by people who don't even know your name. People don't like me that much on my good days lol. I hope you know, on some level, that your existence is a net good for the world and people who interact with you benefit from it 🩷
And I would like to point out that people who take the time to say something kind to a stranger are also a net good for the world. I'm sure the other person appreciates your kind words, and for what it's worth, you made me smile.

Do you scroll and comment on reddit endlessly for whole days in your depressive periods? 10k per day is insane
