RE: Stopping Spam: How to avoid Upvote Envy

in #comments7 years ago

I liked the Minnow's Guide to Comment Curation better. However, I see a lot of begging for upvotes and/or following.

Community is adding sincere value. Anyone could copy and paste an atta boy comment that isn't even relevant. That is the other thing I've seen too much of. However, your Minnow's Guide also showed me how to leverage that for a bit of value as well. :)

I trying to encourage community by asking for comments on my posts as well. To me, genuine comments that show there was an actual read are sometimes worth more personally than the upvote as at least I see someone read what I'd taken time to write.

That's a great point and a great attitude, @gregvence, and we agree!

I'm glad to have subscribed and happy that you continuing to support small sincere authors as we grow. I'm sure I'll reference the "Minnow's Guide" in my posts somewhere.

Is there a good steem-etiquette way of referencing another's article(s)? Or perhaps an article referencing inside Steem and referencing outside when we have to?

You can always reference the posts of others by linking them in your own post!
