RE: Help Me Improve My Comments Section
Lol now I will be honest with you @kevinwong. The reason why many of you who are very interested in getting good comments end up getting trash is because of how you upvote comments . So of you big guys on here just upvote comments few minutes after you post and to be sincere, just like you rightly said, you are big on English and most times people might want to read your post twice to digest it and this might take a bit more time to do. So when they realise you might get to have upvoted in few minutes, they my not bother reading your post fully in a bid to just mumble up a quick comment for you to upvote .
So this is my suggestion...giving this suggestion from what I have seen some do e.g @humanearl and khaleelkazi
Since you don't get to post much, when you make a post, give it a lot more time before you get back to upvote. With that people will get to settle down to read and digest you posts knowing that you would still come back anyways to read through the comment section. Secondly. Like you said, you could also take the time out to go through the comment again just for the late commers who might have been busy with one thing or the other. And finally....after making a post, you could try and ask one or two questions relating to the post you have written for more engagement.
These are the few pieces of advice I will give you since i have seen you are interested in the quality of comments as I have seen this approach work very well for those two guys I mentioned above.
I will also from now on take my time to make good comments on your post since I now know good comments is what you really want.
Do have a lovely day....
Edited....
I forgot to add that most people who are willing to give you good comments might end up not commenting at all when they see a long list of comments and knowing that their "good comments " will be buried under or probably that you have already upvoted so quickly and won't come back to the post to read through the comment section...This is why I feel my suggestions would helo solve the problem and with that, will be able to get all the good comments you want.
You are absolutely right in your conclusions. @kevinwong takes on a great deal of social responsibility in his decision. The number of its subscribers can be compared with the population of a small city. If you compare @kevinwong tasks with the tasks of the mayor, then he needs a whole secretariat to give time to everyone.
Be lenient in your demands. @kevinwong is working for the benefit of society.
Hmm partly agree. I'm kind of a divided objective to just spread out votes to users so I'll do with whatever time I have versus consideration of what constitutes a good response that should be at the top.
I do read back though, although it's true there's a certain fatigue after checking in on the responses multiple times over the lifetime of a post, so yeah this is why i'm reducing the checks and only going for a later digest :) thanks!
