Why are there so many comments and so little upvotes?

There are SO MANY comments. This is just my observation. But it feels like every posts gets more comments than in other subreddits. But the upvotes never follow. This could mean one of two things: 1) people are stingy. They realize if they upvote others, they get less moons for their upvotes. 2) More people like to comment and discuss crypto? Comments could get more upvotes than posts do.

Tldr; every time I post I feel like a meat loaf dangled into a pool of piranhas because of all the comments on posts here.
