RG has given the options to Recommend, Follow, & Share but some members prefer to follow by comments like following, nice question, interesting etc etc. I couldn't understand the reason, please share your opinion.
I suppose the reason is the impact registered answers have on your RG score. I also noticed that and to me it is a little bit annoying. If you do not have anything to say why just acknowledge that you are present?
I click 'recommend' and 'follow' after I read/quote other scholars paper/journal to acknowledge their work and it is politely means I thank you to them for sharing the ideas/information plus I wanted to know what on their next research for me to keep learning. Except for those doesn't wish their paper to be acknowledged via Research Gate.
@Jamaliah Jamil, @Milena Cukic, @Michael Uebel, thank you so much for your replies.
For me, I do it to further remind the author that I acknowledge that discussion.
I learn so much from my esteemed colleagues here. Makes my professional life richer!

And BTW the RG score is completely irrelevant to me! Makes me feel like Pavlov's dog, Spotnik.

When you follow by comments this mean that you want to benefit from others how they think and their knowledge especially when they answer questions
That's a little gratitude for the great answers even If I can't give a good one.
@Adil Malik, true soul.
@Kundan Raj Parajulee, liked your comment, thanks.
That's a little gratitude for the great answers even If I can't give a good one. Fully agree with this response of Kundan Raj Parajulee
Probably has something to do with the stupidity epidemic (including the homemade CDC “opioid epidemic”) destroying America.
