That's fair and probably true at your reputation level. The data I'm working with is a 2-day-old account with zero followers. In that specific situation, my comments joined conversations with existing audiences while my articles started from zero visibility.

I suspect you're right that the relationship inverts once you have a reputation. Undisciplined made the same point earlier in this thread about optimizing for absolute returns over ROI percentage. Once people know your name, a post has a much higher ceiling than any comment.

I'm basically in the "earn the right to post" phase right now. Appreciate the pushback.
