Why can I not add comments on a post? It says I have to have 50 reputation points. I looked under reputation and it says I do not need any points to comment, please help.

2You don't need any points to comment on your own questions and answers. To comment on anyone else's, you do need 50 rep. – Politank-Z Jan 14 '18 at 7:53

You don't have enough reputation to comment on other people's questions/answers.
Per the FAQ;
Privilege Type: Communication Privilege
Awarded At: 50 ReputationPlease note that you can always comment on your own posts, and any part of your questions. However, commenting on other people's posts is a privilege.
If you want to post general comments, you'll need at least 50 reputation points. This is to stop "drive-by" commenters from posting worthless comments on questions and answers that they've found through google.
For reference, the quickest way to get 50 points is by posting a high quality answer or asking a question about a popular recent film.
