I do it from time to time to fight the “empty dancefloor” effect that sometimes prevent people from commenting. I’ve done some testing in the past, and having at least one comment usually helps to get others, compared to having none.
You aren’t the only one doing this and it’s pretty harmless. Don’t sweat it imo.
I’m biased though because I agree with you that it does seem to lead to better post engagement than just adding info to the body of the post.
Thanks. Another aspect is that sometimes you want people to be able to upvote your opinion independently from the post, so it makes sense to have a separated comment
