RE: Spam: an animation

Some things defy understanding. Like people telling you how wonderful your lengthy post is after its only been up for 30 seconds.

I love comments, but I would prefer them to be genuine, or if not then at least clever in some way.

Sort:  

I feel exactly the same way. There is nothing better than a comment that suggests the peon has read your post.

Recently I have seen a lot of the ones that go up within seconds of a lengthy post saying great photos or love your stuff and you know they can't possibly have even lightly skimmed it.

Yes "great photo" I've seen that one a lot, within the first minute or so. I got that to one of m posts from a few days ago. It contained one photo, and about 1500 words. Within 30 seconds in comes the comment "Great photos" (plural). What about my words, do they all suck do they? No response.

All the words passed them by!

I have seen that on posts where there is a great piece of fiction with one header photo. It's always a dreadful shame. One well written comment is so much more likely to garner votes and a follow but no, the easy way is taken.
