What I am going to write to you is something that I have been thinking about for a long time about how to say it... I don't like to pretend to be what I am not and I don't like to be flattered by default either.
For some time now, my posts, although not literary masterpieces of great value, had acquired a strange amount of praising comments, usually praising the good job I had done in writing whatever the topic of the article was and regardless of whether it was simply a report from @strava2hive activity or a financial essay or a personal opinion on a topic that caught my attention...
The fact is that I have recurring "fans" in the comments section who usually tell me how well I do one thing or another...clearly looking for my clueless upvote...
I must confess that as the hours of the day go by and given the impossibility of reading or searching for posts that I like, I often tend to "give" upvotes to these characters who usually flatter me without contributing anything in return.
I have become interested in many of them in the content they produced without liking it and, consequently, without obtaining my following...
I have a few of them in my sights, and I am observing how they behave and how they interact with others...some have promising skills that I like, but others seem to simply try to make the most of the cow without contributing anything in return or even building good foundations to be able to have consistency...
Again, I repeat, I am not a great post writer either but I usually detect when someone gives me their honest opinion and when they don't...
To all these people who comment on me in search of an easy upvote, I must tell you that, although I also like to be praised from time to time, too many praises and empty comments make me suspect something that I don't like too much.

I will keep an eye on them and react negatively if necessary...
I would like to thank @hivewatchers for alerting me to some of these "flatterers" who have also been recognized for being well-known scammers (identity thief, plagiarist, spammer, etc.) and who fit very well the profile I thought of them...
Don't go too hard on your fan club Eddie 😉
😂, I’m not hard, it’s just is the third time in a month that hivewatchers alerts me on some of them
