I just do not think your original comment is useful to other people. Your anecdotes don't reveal any new information other than how you asked Alexis something, you might have made the Ruby subreddit maybe, and Steve answered your questions about a startup. This is benign information unless someone is trying to learn about you personally. Half of your two paragraphs is talking about what you were doing; if you'd helped them make some Reddit feature or your discussions had revealed something interesting/unique about themselves or Reddit, we might have something. But as it stands, your comment is linked to the subject matter in a trivial manner, and your anecdotes are quite benign. It's a low value story.
In the absence of usefulness, I'm left to surmise the other possible motivations for you to be posting it. One of those being that you want to let others know that you personally interacted with these famous people, or you see yourself as important to the story. This would give you some gratification, so it's not entirely illogical to consider this as a motivating factor. Apart from the technical subject matter, the value of your original comment is akin to a Taylor Swift fan saying they met Taylor once, and they talked about the weather. It's a nice reflection on Taylor to have set the time aside, just like it's a nice reflection on Steve to have answered questions, but neither is groundbreaking enough to be interesting to strangers.
Not that my comments are particularly useful. But my comments aren't top-level discussion starters, they are direct replies to you in absence of a direct message feature.

Going by your own logic, why comment, then? To put down others? Won't work, dork.
Right on. Your comments are worse than useless, actually.
Wow, such a pious, holier-than-thou and long-winded comment, Priscilla, er, Prudence, er, Pathetica. :)
Exactly as you presume to judge me and comment about me, without sufficient basis or knowledge about me, I will now do the same to you. Let's see how you handle it:
I hereby declare your novitiate status successfully ended. You are now officially a nun of the Convent of No Reason but Full of Bile and Weakness, Envy and Hate, in the Year of Our Lord, 2024.
Wow, you're riled up. Even got the "I'm not raging, look I'm brushing it off" smiley emoticons.
> Priscilla, er, Prudence, er, Pathetica. :) [...] You are now officially a nun of the Convent of No Reason but Full of Bile and Weakness, Envy and Hate, in the Year of Our Lord, 2024.
Either I don't get the reference, or that's just... unhinged. It seems like you also slipped and pasted some of the comment header at the start of the reply. Maybe take a break from the internet for a bit, I'm sorry my comment upset you so much.
>Wow, you're riled up. Even got the "I'm not raging, look I'm brushing it off" smiley emoticons.
Who said anything about raging? This issue is not important enough for me to rage about :)
Maybe it is, for you. You are probably raging internally about me, but trying to express it in what you, a troll, but a scared one, think is a socially acceptable form, here, even though you are using a throwaway name. That shows your stupidity.
Everyone recognises a troll when they see one.
No, the smiley at the end of that sentence indicates my sneering at you, just as my use of those specific girls' names do, like Cyril and Claude in the case of boys. You know both of those points very well, but are pretending not to, like the fake and loser that you are.
>Either I don't get the reference, or that's just... unhinged.
Yes, that's right, you are unhinged. :)))
>Maybe take a break from the internet for a bit, I'm sorry my comment upset you so much.
No, you are not sorry, because you are a troll, so that's the only thing you are capable of even trying (unsuccessfully) to do. Also, it did not upset me. I was just shitting back on you. I am very good at that.
I was wrong about your address, it's not a rock.
So go back into the pond slime under the bridge, where you belong, troll.
Edit: Can't resist a last shit on you, you slime.
Do come out of your slime, from time to time, and beg for a dime, or for a lime, to give us an entertaining time.
How's that for a rhyme?
