Lol I think the tradition started on youtube. It would be great if the statement “First!” was followed by poignant remarks concerning the discussion but that’s as rare as finding a computer with forgotten Bitcoins on it

First has existed long before youtube :) I am "old" 32. I remember it from the 90s.

What media do you remember it from? Haha that would be completely ridiculous if someone posted a selfie on myspace or did the cinnamon challenge on their Facebook and someone yelled “first!” Lol

Just to avoid confusion, it's annoying as hell so don't, please.

So there was this guy who would post a detailed game review, as far back as like 04' after Eagles games, on their message boards. People would always try to post "First!!!"... the sad giggles they got from it kind of make me smile now.

IF you think you're old at 32, you need to work out and eat well bro.

Sound advice..but I didn't say I feel old :)

Hmm... I guess it has to do with upvoting and getting those steem power dollar/votes or whatever. Notice how the first post got some dollar amount. I've also got some steem but yet to figure out how to optimize its use. The system seems to allow bots or bullying by whales and such. Anyhow, hejin I've upvoted you and showing my appreciation genuinely. Keep up the great TA!

One important trick is to dumb down your language, use uncomplicated verbiage and stay away from grammar ! Never try to express complex thoughts, be positive, fast, and people will upvote you, especially if you have nothing constructive to say. It's not about that, it's about status within the herd. Comments like "Cat great, good haejin" with an infantile gif attached have a success guarantee - but yeah, why not use bots ;)

GREAT POST. 2 GOOD THAMBS UP FOR JU!

Yes early or first upvotes can help with curation rewards but can be easily eclipsed by whales with giant upvoting power. It helps to power up as much as you can whenever you make some steem or sbd

autism?

Because its easier than being the last!

they think haejin will vite them lol
