The quality of posts has been discussed over and over again for years (this is my 6th year on the chain) and even if some things improved, there are still plenty of guys getting lots of attention for effortless posts, which is something that many see, but never speak about.
However, while, let's say, that can be fixed in one way or another, I have a bigger problem with the comments that are usually left on posts which are always coming from those guys who copy-paste the same phase that has nothing to do with what's written in the post, on as many posts as possible. It's not like I ask people to read a post that maybe takes 10-15 minutes to be entirely read because maybe some can't afford to invest so much time on a single article, but at least take time to read a few paragraphs to make an idea what's everything about or simply don't let any comment.
We are all humans and have a real life which sometimes doesn't allow us to be as active as we wish, but that's fine, just don't try to seem active by writing something nonsense or generating comments through AI.
I know what you mean. I still give them an upvote because at least they took the effort to post it and engagement, even on first glance pointless as theirs, is common place in the mainstream. Again, as i said in the post, most people have nothing worthwhile to say. We need to lower our standards.
Id rather have more pointless engagement, if a real person is behind it, than no engagement at all.
