I know people who have set targets for themselves, to have a number of comments per day, which is not a bad thing as long as those comments are relevant and good quality. But chasing people for upvote is wrong.
Back in the day when I registered, there were a lot of comments like nice post and also people asking for upvotes. This is not happening anymore, or I don't see it happening.
There are now newer ways. Sometimes they just go off-point.
