i think comments get all the credit but saves are the real sleeper. linkedin doesn’t show them publicly so nobody talks about them, but i’ve had posts with barely any likes get pushed way harder than ones with tons of reactions, and the only difference i could see was saves.
the commenter thing you mentioned is real though. i’ll forget who posted something but remember who left a good comment on it for weeks. some people figured this out and their whole strategy is just commenting on other people’s stuff. never posting themselves. arguably better ROI tbh.
the other thing nobody talks about is that linkedin clearly treats long comments differently than “great post!” replies. like it’s not even close. one thoughtful comment from someone with a decent network can do moren for a post’s reach than 30 fire emojis
