It's like tilting at windmills. This is the biggest downside of the social media sites, where the opportunity of the money earning is involved.
The lack of the real, authentic interactions/communications/conversations and a lot of spammers.
A lot of people who write comments just want attention on their own profiles/posts, gain new followers and/or upvote(s) on their comment(s).
They are doing that (commenting under other people's posts) only for their own good.
A lot of people use this site ONLY for the money and they won't write a real, engaging comment. They won't even read your/mine (or anyone else's) blog post(s). The spammers just don't (care about it). Your blog post is meaningful and have a great message about the community and the interactions/conversations, but the spammers just don't care about it.
A lot of people will probably don't like my opinion, because I wrote the truth, but you asked for my own views in a respectful manner and this is it!
Thank you for reading!
Enjoy Steemit!
Have a nice day!
Thank you taking the time to craft such a wonderful reply. From experience, most comments that i receive are great and I really appreciate that. These comments actually motivate me to post on a daily basis. But for the few spam comments, these newbies may not know better and I hope that this post will be able to educate them. It is my hope that more newbies can see this post and abide by my tips so that together we can create a better environment for all at Steemit. Following you now.
Sure I get spammers, and the persistent ones, I flag. But after being on this platform for a year now, I regularly receive great comments and interaction from people. I'm discovering a great community, even if I have to tune out some "static".
