RE: Teaching English in Chiang Mai, Thailand - My travel diary

The thing is, this is a social network. Copy pasting the same line everywhere is not encouraged.

If you really want to make connections on this platform before posting (and that is a really good idea) then try engaging with the other person.

How would you feel if I commented under each of your posts anew:

Hey, I just discovered your post, really nice. I am John and your post is really nice. Please also follow me and upvote my posts. All my posts are really great and I am really great. They are so great, you have to upvote them really. I am writing about poems and flowers and it is so nice. This has nothing to do with your post but I care about upvotes for me and not your content I just hijacked.

The thing is, people will tell you to stop. People will try to engage with you and tell you why what you do is not nice. And if you ignore that, some will start flagging you. Copy pasting the same comment over and over is the textbook example for spam.

Happy to discuss this with you if you have any questions 😊

There are soooo many more important things in the world than getting annoyed by that sorry but this is ridiculous. But really bad that there are so many people nowadays who criticise everything.

Omg hahahahha you really don´t have a life right and do I care about you posting that now.....no because I have nerves. Feel free to do that every day. Maybe I should get you some nerve pills as I am working in a pharmacy maybe you calm down then. :-)

Naaah, don't want to spam.

You know it may be that you actually read what you commented under. But be aware there are users who use bots to comment under many posts. And you could be seen as such a bot. And some users are reacting really bad to such spam.

No sorry I am a human being and I didn´t do anything bad so I think you should really calm down now.

Thank you very much for that advice and maybe as you saw I am new here on steemit so didn´t know that this is such a huge problem!!! And people would get so mean. But well some people will always through bad things about others.
