I don't think we can equate the effort between answering technical questions and a comment on Reddit/Facebook.

While the occasional comment feels like work (e.g. citations), that isn't the norm so 23/day is meaningless.

Plus SO answers actually contribute positively to the world, whereas arguably social media comments do not.
