My solution is that I’m motivated by the process of writing, and so if anything am less likely to write high-comment-count articles, because it’s stressful when lots of people disagree with me. (Although I end up writing a lot of social reality posts anyway because that is what I have opinions about.)
In fandom, people tend to leave comments that talk about particular emotions they had or lines they thought were particularly funny or insightful, so you get a lot of comments on widely read things even if there is nothing wrong with them. I find myself reluctant to leave such comments on lesswrong 2.0 because I don’t want to clutter everyone’s recent-comments feed.
