Yesterday, I looked down in the Comments Section of a Blog Post of mine and saw this! ( First part of Title of my Post in quotes) Geesh people, come on now !! I'm new but even I know better.
Are Some People just Asinine to Think this Could Work ??
Quite honestly to me it's just commonsense. Someone takes time to write a thought provoking,insightful blog post and a person should reply with a thought provoking, insightful Comment. Doesn't have to be a Pulitzer award winning reply. Just something that adds to the discussion. That's all. But people who think they will get Followers, Upvotes etc.. using this technique and find success here at Steemit are sorely mistaken
How to leave a Good Comment ??
A good way is to give your own example and experience as it relates to the discussion. For instance, if someone is talking about Converting Crypto to Fiat why not give your angle on it with how you personally did the Conversion. Just make sure the experience is relevant to the subject matter. Just do not get off on a tangent about YOU !!
What Can We All Do ?
Well, if you cannot leave a Comment on a blog post that adds value to the discussion, then just don't Comment at all. If you want to say is "thanks" then just give the appropriate Upvote and that's it . Otherwise, you are just wasting space ;)
BOTTOM LINE : Just say "NO" to drive by Comments
Ones that are only there to get Exposure and Followers, Upvotes etc... It simply will not work at Steemit :) This is a social atmosphere and just like going to a party at your friends house you want to mingle , interact, and connect among the party crowd . Otherwise you sit there alone in the corner of the room looking like a fool with no friends :)
Cheers,
Robert
