In fact I think I've commented many times and not voted on the post 🤔.
Interestingly, your comment is the second one that mentions upvotes, so I had to check out my post if I mentioned upvoting at all... 😃 When I was writing about bringing value, I was exactly at the same page as you when you said....
Especially with those who publish content that enriches me. That bring me, either knowledge or simply images of places and events that move me in some way. Publications that are a pleasure to read.
That's the real value... and comments where someone just copies/pastes an AI recap of the post, or posts a "nice post" thing, are 0 value posts... When the person doesn't appreciate the author, how the comment can be valuable? You can disagree with the post but still appreciate the author, but these comments are just 0 value, just time wasting... I don't want to waste my time on that, I want to spend it wisely engaging with others... "enriching" others (like you said), and enriching myself by consuming quality content and comments! I want to be surrounded by people who help me and to whom I can help... That's the community that helps everyone to grow!
Thanks for sharing your view!
