RE: Attn Minnows: Stop Asking for Upvotes and Start Leaving Engaging Comments
"Thank you! Great post! Keep up the good work!"
Honestly, how the hell am I supposed to engage a commenter if they don't express what they liked about my article. It's like they do it only for post count or in hopes of getting my wee updoot. Don't get me wrong, I made that mistake a couple of times when I first got onto the platform, but I learned from my mistakes quickly.
I resteemed this because it was well written and I hope more noobies see this. Good lord man, try having a screen name that starts with "A", new people message me on steemchat asking for updoots and follows every day. I haven't lost my patience yet and I always inform them that it's frowned upon to ask for such things.
it's bad. it's been bad since i joined up in july. i'm sure it was bad before that too. it's just fucking lazy, honestly. and i realize (and understand) there may be a fair amount of language barrier at play with all this as well, but there are literally HUNDREDS, if not thousands, of posts just like this disparaging the kind of lazy commenting and begging that goes on in comment sections.
i've even had people do it in the comment section of previous posts decrying this same behavior. like...did they not even bother reading the post? apparently not.
I wish there were basic introduction to steem videos linked in the FAQ. Granted they would probably be in English, but with all the resources this platform offers we could get it subbed in a myriad of other languages.
and thanks for the resteem! much appreciated!
newbieHandUpinAir why does having a letter A name mean they message you, is it because you come up in a list somewhere and you are at the top and they are just trawling though looking for votes?
I got suckered in my first day (i'm only day 4 hence why reading the post like a dutiful newbie) by a guy who wrote a very thoughtful story and comment on my post. Fairly lengthy and funny. so like a good girl i upvoted him. anyway the following day, i looked at his previous comments and saw he cut and pasted the comment onto EVERY SINGLE page he could get his hands on. heaps and heaps and heaps of the same comment. Then he changed comments and did anther 40 or so comments exactly the same. BLOCK!
Sneaky Bastard.
i'm most upset i gave him $0.01 of everyone's Steem....
