Like you, I give a small upvote to anyone who seems to have read the post.
If I think they haven't, I might call them out by asking what they liked about it. If they respond, I know they're genuine and will interact a little.
If they haven't upvoted, but have commented, I'll refer them to the pic I'm now putting at the bottom of all my posts.
This is really cool Deb! Would you mind if I use this for some of my students?
Be my guest! How are things with you? We must catch up.
We should! I'm good thank you!
I love your picture! Very nice photograph. (just kidding) It really is a great list!
It astonishes me that people are still scrolling right past it to upvote and post rubbish comments! But I can at least refer them to it.
READ THIS NOW OR ELSE!!!1!
lol just kidding, but seriously take a chill pill (payouts take a week anyway what are you rushing for?), and try to make this a respectable place to post and then you will see the income start growing (for real because it won't just be one-off comments and shitposts getting the money)
I love the 5 C's may I ask your permission to use it? It would be great for the minnow community we are mentoring at @steemitfamilyph
Yes, please be my guest. I'm happy for anyone to use it.
