RE: Scarcity on hive - Thoughts on reblogging

The bonkers banter made me miss the fact that I didn't comment on the reblog. Sorry Galen. I re-re-checked my initial comment and see I didn't write about the reblog - at all. In total agreement with you. My feed is usually spammed with reblogs and mostly just random and valueless. With terrible photos. Commenting sometimes takes me down a rabbit hole and off the actual subject. I'm one of those non-rebloggers. Mostly. I prefer to take time to read and comment where something grabs me. Back to the praise being like diamonds I guess. But don't get me started on some people's comments. Do they actually READ the post? Don't comment asking a question or making a statement that is already addressed in the post. Why bother to comment?

I noticed, but it's ok; I was happy just to get your comment.

Me too. We should start a club.

Do they actually READ the post?

Most don't, I am pretty good at telling if they have by how they comment though. I'll often call them out on it.

Why bother to comment?

To garner favour...But I have their measure.

I am just proofing a 2000+ word post right now (a fiction about a man and war) for tomorrow and you know what? I understand that hardly anyone will read it am ok with it. I don't get annoyed or feel entitled to votes or whatever. I wrote it for me, for the enjoyment, and other reasons. But what I do get annoyed with is people not reading post but commenting as if they have. The old G-dog has a nose for that bullshit and whilst I'm still (mostly polite) I hate it. Like you say, just don't comment at all.

But, thanks for yours though, for re-re-checking your original comment. Classy. Appreciated.

Oh my word. And I obviously don't re-re-check my spelingg

Most comment without reading. It's very obvious. My problem with reading the long ones is I know how much (or little) time I have so I open the tabs. Start reading. And a couple days later realize I haven't finished or commented. Inevitably I have a gazillion tabs crashing my laptop so then I need to catch up on days old posts. So I guess I'll start a tab club too
