Steem Pope Short Sermon: Comments
Comments. Easy, right?
No, apparently not.
If you take the time to comment on a post, make it relevant to the content of that post. "Great post" doesn't tell the author that you read the post. "Nice photo" doesn't tell a photographer that you saw the photo. You don't need to write a college paper deconstructing anything, but say something specific about what was shared so the author knows you took the time to consider their work.
Quality interaction on your part invites quality interaction from others. If you are new to Steemit, your posts will probably be lost in the sea of spam and plagiarism that besets our platform. This is one way you can stand out from the crowd yourself. Find original content. Upvote it. Comment on it in a way that invites conversation.
Just don't beg for follows and votes, or buy bot support. If you leave a compliment, leave an upvote, too, even if you're plankton. Oh, and one more thing: don't upvote your own comments and replies, either, because that just doesn't look good. The only justification there is counteracting malicious flags.
Like a lot the way you pointed out this matter. It's annoying to keep posting on the platform when you don't get proper feedback. It's as annoying as realizing that steemit has become a site when users tend to "upvote x upvote" and "comment x comment"... the same goes with followers. How this site can keep the good quality if users are constantly supporting so many spam and trash content? Then we have so many good content here that doesn't get supported... if these posts get more than 10 upvotes you can call it a miracle
If only more people would read yours and similar advise.
One of the nice parts about a post is answering the replies I find.
Please carry on with your sermons, one day you will be preaching to the converted until then, keep on
If I have been regularly interacting with someone on Steemit, I will sometimes allow myself to leave a short comment that would be meaningless if we had not communicated in the past. Otherwise, I quite agree with you.
If rapport has already been built, it is indeed a somewhat different matter.
@jacobtothe so true, I try to imagine what I would say to someone in real life and write that out. Many people on these social media platforms just say "nice." or "cool photo" many times they do not even upvote. Just more spam to me.
