Half the battle is saying something that interests a few people and engaging with them.

And that's the thing. Stuff are valuable because people are actually there to interact, comment, etc.

The only "over rewarded" stuff I see are those botted or self-jerked stuff that nobody gives a shit about. That's where I draw the line between "exploitative" and normal.

But many prefer to say that I (and others) give preferential treatment. Whatever.

I agree, the non engagement posts irritate me the most.
