Like you said, so many of these posts are popping up about "begging for upvotes and follows". I hope new users are listening to this advice. It is super annoying seeing "Great post. follow me" on my comment section, as I don't even respond to them anymore. Good post @luzcypher.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I just ignore them or link a post that explains how annoying it is to do that so they learn. You can post a link to this post for example next time someone adds a comment like that to your post.
Great advice, and great fun... I'll buy that for a penny ;)
I can usually tell a good commenter as well. Maybe we need to recognize those more often. The good ones usually keep commenting as they continue to read all of the comments attached to a post.
In fact, that's where I usually find the greatest thrills when posting on Steemit!
Exactly, there is a real conversation happening on a good, engaging post. Become part of the conversation if you have something insightful or meaningful to add.
Sometimes I will read all the comments on a post with a topic I know nothing about. I'll just be a fly on the wall and say nothing, just learning more about the topic. You can learn a lot on Steemit. Some of the best stuff is in the comments.
