Discovered a weird stat about comment length

Was scrolling through Reddit data on subredditstats.com last night. Found out the average comment on this sub is only 14 words long. Kinda blew my mind since I always write longer stuff. Anyone else surprised by how short people keep it here?

Read that stat too… kinda explains why my novels get ignored.

See it a bit different though. Yeah the big names get all the eyeballs but that doesn't mean readers aren't hunting for something fresh and indie. A lot of folks are tired of the same five bestsellers and dig through forums like this to find hidden gems. Maybe the issue isn't the stat itself but where we're putting our energy to get noticed. Have you tried posting in any smaller book groups or subreddits where people actually want to discover new writers?
