Depending on the day I use commas like they were on sale at Costco but are about to go bad any moment. I did the same thing with ellipses for years.
Me and commas are not friends because of this. I use them too often and need to stop! I still use too many when doing creative writing thingies.
It is good, but i also like some commas too.
For less important propositions, or to have some propositions closer together. Just like paragraphs link some sentences together when having the same point.
I think having that registery and doing it right is really what's important. Short sentences is great advice because it breaks the habit of long ones, which we get from speaking.
