Sometimes I'll have a reply several paragraphs long typed and then my brain goes, "No one cares," and I'll erase it all. (That's more of a discussion thing than a commenting-on-fic thing.)
With fic, it's kind of interesting how different fandom are about commenting.
I wrote a funny Hulk story (post-Ragnarok) with only 348 hits, but it got 44 kudos and 29 comment threads (granted a lot of those were the same people commenting in separate chapters). Meanwhile, I wrote a House MD story with more than twice as many hits with 61 kudos, but only 6 comment threads and a Big Bang Theory fic with 2383 hits and 163 kudos but only 11 comment threads. My theory is that the more mainstream the show, the less likely people are to comment. Meanwhile, I've found myself writing more Supernatural because that fandom comments a lot. (One of the best things I think I've written was an obscure fandom where I got 80 hits and 4 kudos and the only comments were from my proofreaders who had already read it before I posted it.)
