RE: Attn Minnows: Stop Asking for Upvotes and Start Leaving Engaging Comments

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Man, it bugs me SO much when people do this, and maybe even more that they don't realize how ineffective and gross it is to do it. Someone recently commented on my post that they were "posting this wherever they can" --like I should go read their article because it is so pressing, with no indication whatsoever that they read what I wrote. Bahh, people. Anyway, thanks for bringing this up here, and hopefully the right eyes read it.

Sort:  

yeah, i really don't understand the mentality myself. i came on expecting to use it like FB; comment, engage, converse, etc.

the begging for votes and random comment dropping...the reasoning just eludes me.

Does it ever work? Like, is there some kind of Pavlovian reason that it continues so much? Is there a cultural thing being missed?
