RE: Results from Live Upvoting $1,600 in Steem Power and SBD!

here's what I've noticed. When you're a minnow, and you're upvoting a post like this...chances are, your comment will never get seen when there's 100's of them. I've seen it happen way too often where someone like @jerrybanfield or @sweetsssj (not their own fault) will get hundreds of responses to a post, and not have the time to look at everyone, so they'll just be upvoting and commenting on the first 10-20, etc, and never have time to get down to see the comments from the users who need it the most. If I didn't up vote my own post (which I'm going to do to prove my point), no one would ever see this comment! I think it's totally acceptable when you're a minnow and growing, up until a certain point, to up vote your comments and posts at 100% to grow!

Exactly, I like to also sort by "AGE" which helps me see all the comments to their respective times. *As a side note to @jerrybanfield I sent that first $10 Super Chat that got the ball rolling on your influx of super chats, that was too funny. I appreciate your upvotes!

this is so tru.

your right alway the top get the biggies.

I agree 💯 % Im new to this community and I noticed that my post really where not getting noticed. So my new strategy is to reply to first post with the most votes and is trending so my chances of getting my opinion out are greater. Well hope the newbies like me learn to reply to the top post until they build up their reputation!

One option every minnow has to get their comment noticed is to send 2 Steem Backed Dollars (SBD) or 2 Steem to @randowhale with the comment hyperlink in the memo field (this link can be found by checking the address bar of your comment after you open it from your comment feed), for a chance at a decent whale up-vote (between 0.5% and 2.5% whale up-vote, which can be over a $5 up-vote).

More on this here.

really good example queeneleanor, I do try my absolute best to reply to everybody who takes their time to comment, but like you said, it can get a little bit overwhelming when there are hundreds of comments to read and then reply to. I usually dedicate at least an hour or two right after posting to reply. Usually everybody who replies in those first 2 hours I'll manage to reply to. But then, afterwards the comments continue piling up and then it really does come down to visibility which is why I think it's perfectly fine to upvote your comment up to increase the chance of it being seen. That's the attention economy right there!

By the way @sweetsssj, can you upload a video of you speaking English on your YouTube account and prove to all of your followers that you're not a phony?

Thanks!

And nice to see that you have started to upvote some of your replies since I called you out on it.
