I've always enjoyed the commenting part of Steemit more than anything else. The connection between people we know only online. It can be a somewhat magical place to hang out and chat. I do spend a bit of time on some comments. The 'nice post' stuff just doesn't cut it. And for some reason, I work better at all things, on the keyboard/PC. I think there is a left-brain trigger, or some other such moojoo going on, based within the tactility of typing on the keyboard. (I use a vertical, ergonomic keyboard).
But creativity seems to be enhanced for some reason, particularly in writing longer humor pieces. And as you say, you can see more of what is occurring and developing in front of you as you 'go', on the larger screen. Thanks for the food for thought on this. And have a safe trip. Cheers.
