I’m adding two three caveats, to make this both useful and feasible:
I don’t have to answer questions, because this is one context where I think that feedback without a point to make is not really valuable.
I don’t have to comment on Covid tagged posts, because I don’t want to.
I don’t have to comment on all posts by 2am CET, notably because some big complex posts can be posted really close to midnight CET, and that’s really too hard. So I should just read and comment all post for a given day before 11pm59 the next day.
Worth noting, you can comment on questions without answering them (the site treats them differently). I’ve found that most question posts contain enough information that can be meaningful responded to without attempting to answer the question
Logging my failures, which might help in understand what is feasible and unfeasible in this challenge:
1st day (11th November): Failed to comment on The Darwin Game—Rounds 1 to 2, which is cool but I’m not following the game, so I have nothing to say about it.
3rd day (13th November): Failed to comment on A framework for thinking about single predictions, because I’m really not into forecasting, and don’t know enough to provide any kind of constructive feedback.
8th day (18th November): Failed to comment on Solomonoff Induction and Sleeping Beauty because I don’t have the background and the post doesn’t reexplain the main points necessary for me to get it, and failed to comment on Propinquity Cities So Far because I could not understand half the things I was reading—to much economics for my current level.
13th day to 17th day (23rd November to 27th November): Complete failure. I did comment some posts, but there is not a single day in this interval where I commented every post. Oops.
20th day (30th November): Half a failure. Missed 3⁄4 posts.

True. I think I’ll still keep questions as optional, because I do think that feedback without an answer is less useful than for regular posts.

4th day (14th November): Failed to comment on Specialized Labor and Counterfactual Compensation because it’s a complex subject in which I know almost nothing about and which doesn’t interests me.
8th day (18th November): Failed to comment on Solomonoff Induction and Sleeping Beauty because I don’t have the background and the post doesn’t reexplain the main points necessary for me to get it, and failed to comment on Propinquity Cities So Far because I could not understand half the things I was reading—to much economics for my current level.
10th day (20th November): Failed to comment on Simpson’s paradox and the tyranny of strata because I didn’t know the paradox well enough to judge this post. One day late for commenting on Inner Alignment in Salt-Starved Rats because I was tired and busy.
12th day (22nd November): Failed to comment on It’s not economically inefficient for a UBI to reduce recipient’s employment because I had nothing relevant to add to the discussion, and it seemed like the kind of post where comments without content are a negative.
13th day to 17th day (23rd November to 27th November): Complete failure. I did comment some posts, but there is not a single day in this interval where I commented every post. Oops.
