Example 1 - media removed:  
[2 species are on the same observation](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/8793146). Observer removes photos of 2nd species, but leaves no comment. I would never have known if observer hadn’t started making additional IDs, which triggered the notifications.

Example 2 - media changed:  
[changed 1 photo for another](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/29864017). If I hadn’t commented, the identifier wouldn’t have known I changed a pic.

Example 3 - media added:  
Added additional pics. [Observer added photos from additional angles](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/54802998). If observer hadn’t left a comment, Identifiers would not be notified that new, diagnostically significant photos were now present.
