For a minute I considered just replying "Great comment!" (Because I can be a smart ass sometimes.) But to avoid having that misinterpreted, I figured it's best to just mention that, as the OP, comments like "awesome" feel a little better than getting ghosted by the network. There is a lot of garbage on every social media site (including this one) that for some reason gets attention. So when I put some talent and effort into a post and no one replies, it sucks. Up votes are better than nothing. And short generic comments seem better than that.

All this being said, a rising tide raises all ships. So your guidance on what type of comments add value to the network and which ones don't is appreciated. Is there a comprehensive guide from Steemit on what is encouraged and what is not?
