What do you think would happen and why?
You would certainly get more comments and followers. Likely following an 80:20 distribution of garbage to quality. That could be wrong though. I expected to see a lot of trash comments already and there are only 2-3 at this point (7 hours after your post). The rest are more thoughtful but also from the more active hive users.
I'm curious to come back in a few days and see what the quality of comments in this post are like.
Yep, I think I'd get a fuck load of shit comments...most of which I'd vote of course...downvote.
As for the commenting on this post, it's what I expected, the usual suspects commenting well and a few others. You see, this post was the experiment - I'd never simply upvote every top level comments with $1, I respect passion, personality and effort more than that, and I'm disinclined to reward a lack of effort.
Yes, of course. I can't resist a good satire and your post was an excellent one 😀
Lol...glad you saw it for what it was.
