RE: Types of Reply I am Unlikely to Upvote

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Being new on steemit I receive significantly less comments than yourself, thinking about it it is actually because my content is worse rather than the age of the account. Nevertheless even I am starting to get these useless sometimes even spammy comments on my articles and I agree it is rather annoying.

From my point of view I spend a reasonable amount of time on my content and you obviously put in a large amount of effort, producing some of the best content on steemit. So when I receive one of those types of comments I take it kind of personally, I probably shouldn't but I consider it an insult that they didn't even bother to read the article.

I would like to chalk it up as cultural differences but I am more inclined to put it down to the fact that there is money on the line and their belief that the more comments they post the more chance there is to make some. They seem to believe in the fallacy of quantity over quality.

I did start to respond to these types of comments with, "D-, not good enough please try harder! See me after class." However I am so fed up with being their primary school teacher that now I don't bother and just gloss over them.

I have come to the realisation that if all of those types of comments are just left to stagnate with no votes, then perhaps they will eventually get the picture and actually put the effort in.

P.S. The Indian Facebook video was amusing and actually pretty catchy. Going to have that tune stuck in my head whilst I'm coding today.

P.P.S. Thank you for being so kind with your voting, you are a true selfless steemian!
