You made points others didn’t, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.
Laughing with a “crowd” supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you’re the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don’t be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.
