Yass...This. I have gotta say I don't think I have ever made more than a few cents for my comments, but i find myself mainly interacting with those around the same SP as me. That being said, I have felt the exact way you have described. I try to put a lot of thought into my comments. If I don't have anything to say, I just don't. And if someone's blog is really great, I just upvote it, rather than just leave a meaningless comment. I really appreciate the people that take the time to write insightful comments on my posts, even if they are critical. That helps me tremendously with future posts and it is invaluable!
I have said before that I think it would be helpful to have a page (or a few) for newbie Steemies kind of explaining all of this stuff. Instead we have to keep writing these posts and hope that enough people see them to deal with the problems that are arising. Anyway, this was a really great post. I wish more people could see it and then take said advice! It's very important to the future of the platform!
If I also thought about that I think it would be much more information in the faq especially for the new ones, when I came here I had no idea of anything and I made some mistakes as I guess everyone else.
Anyway, I do not think it's just about making long comments or that a much longer comment is better than another not so long, simply that the comment really conveys what you want to say and that you really notice the participation, because some comments they look very clearly that they are spam, but others can tell that they are really, who has the power or the criteria to choose that? Nobody but us to give a vote or not to give it according to our own criteria, steemit has no life so he does not know how to distinguish that hehehe, but we as people know perfectly when someone is telling the truth or not, and when someone is interested only in the benefit or someone is interacting and deserves the benefit that are 2 very different things.
We are not all artists or creators or we are the best bloggers, we are many who do not have incredible capabilities and I think that no one can assess whether what we do or not is quality because the quality is subjective and here for what I see something that does not happen I know if it is all good, really not always rewarding quality I would say that in only 20% or less, here by what I see is rewarding popularity, for example I see some post with a selfie that in my opinion is a bit ridiculous (well I never liked that of the selfies and that of showing every so so) the fact is that a single selfie that can reach 50 sbd or 150 sbd seems ridiculous, when I see content that really It took time to write it, write it or prepare it and it does not take more than a few cents, that's why I say that here I see mostly and unfortunately it is rewarding popularity more than quality, although I think the quality issue is a theme that what to do profu Because quality does not really exist is only the perception of a majority, for example if I say that I am an artist and I paint a picture with nothing more than a black dot in the middle, who is the one to question me that this painting is not a artwork? I've seen art of that kind ridiculous things valued in millions, why? No idea, hahahaha.
In the end, not only the quality but also the value, there is a lot of talk about contributing value, well we will analyze this now;)
if I tell a joke in a single line that takes me 1 minute but I manage to laugh at 100 people who voted for that joke and I made them feel very good for a moment, would that be considered to add value ?, because in the end the value also It is something very subjective, and providing that many have a good time of fun, bring value as I see it is not only that they pay for your time or your exfuerto or your work, bring value is when many people are enjoying what your as echo
Opinions on this? ;)
Well said ! The benefits of writing a well-thought comment outweigh multiple times the benefits of 1 -2 SBD. For example, with your comment now you have gained a follower (me), upvoted your comment, with all it's worth and I actually enjoyed reading your comment.
If you keep doing what you are doing it is inevitable to make a small fortune here. Also if you want more people to see this content, feel free to re-steem it.
Thank you for taking the time to write this !
Of course the lenght of a comment does not determine it's value. Also I am not judgin anyone in this post. But it is clear when someone is spamming, when you have written 100 comments "Good job bro" at various articles, it's a red flag.
If I see something that makes me feel better, for example i laugh at a joke on steemit, I will make sure to convey my gratitude with a comment like "that was funny" and an upvote of course. It would still be three words, but I would have done it just to show the creator my appreciation.
Overall everyone should decide for himself how to treat various commenters, I have decided for myself and shared my thoughts with you.
Thanks for your comment
P.S. I guess these pictures show us that everyone has a different point of view on the matter. I think this is extremely important for our progress. I respect that
I'm stunned, because I do not consider at all to be creating good content, at least not as far as blog (just look at my publications and the little value they bring in $) if I had more luck when I shared my music and take something more with that but not with the written text because I'm a bit of a mess writing, although sometimes I get more inspiration when I comment on other publications like now when I want to create my own publication.
What I mean is that I'm stunned is that I did not think that comment would earn me a subscriber, because in this case you're my only REAL subscriber hahaha, I have many but most are subscriptions by commitment or friends or like everyone at the beginning to win some subscriber and not appear with a very large zero, because we asked favors as the typical of if you subscribe I also subscribe with you.
I'm sure that some subscriber in my channel subscribed because he liked something of the content (I do not know exactly or I'll never know) but you're the only one who expressed it to me directly here and that's honorable for me and I'm also glad that I enjoyed the comment that is the best part.
if the images I put them for that because they represent what I think about the subjectivity of all things and really this topic gives for many post do not cres? Hahaha.
I liked a little phrase that you have on your profile that is worth gold
''You can not create more time, you can create more VALUE! ''
With your permission I will use it sometime than another;)
and the most important thing is not that we are followers or not only is to be in contact although I have to use the translator and it gives some work but I'm used to it.
