Fucking dumb illiterate bastards!
And no, I am not talking about reading Tolstoi and discussing how the social standing of women in feudal society is represented in Anna Karenina, but the ability to read a simple fucking blog post and understand the main point in it. I’m getting sick and tired of all the down right stupid comments people make because they haven't read the post they comment on.
I get that some of the comments are made by bots, and some people have trouble with the English language (which btw is not my mother tongue either), but it’s quite clear when you are not even trying. Sometimes it even looks like a person fell onto the keyboard, and I’m pretty sure Google Translate didn’t suggest that.
I don’t mind if someone comes to see my posts just for the pictures, but don’t start asking questions before you read the post, there might already be an answer there! Most often I clearly state camera details and in what country the pictures are taken, so look for those before you ask, I don’t intentionally hide the facts.
Why are you asking about something that is clearly statet in the post itself? Are you even gonna read my answer to you? Most platant examples are when what ever someone is asking is literally already typed as the title of the post, or is one of three sentences in the whole post. I know we live in a world of fast-everything, and everything in social media needs to be easily digested, but I’m not writing 10000 word articles.
Let me give you a few examples:
Post title: SUNSET
Comment 1: Is this a sunrise, i love sunrise, new day.
Comment 2: Is this the moon?
&
Only sentence in my self portrait post: Me shot by me with the Nikon D7200.
Comment 1: Who is the model? She pretty.
Comment 2: Who takes your pictures? He is good.
Comment 3: What camera you use?
I wish these were exaggerated examples but no such luck, people are really this dumb and these are all recurring comments.
Another thing that makes me mad is taking things out of context. This happens every other day. A person reads half a sentence from the post, or even just one word, crabs on to that and ignores everything else, completely missing the main point. For example, my post about procrastinating about good things, where most of the comments were just talking about procrastination when avoiding unpleasant tasks, which was pretty much the opposite of what I was talking about. I’m also quite astonished by the lack of understanding when it comes to sarcasm, irony and humour. Are you all three-year-olds!?
I get quite a good amount of comments and I hate wasting my time going through all the shit to get to the real comments. I don't understand what you gain from commenting something totally irrelevant or trying to promote your own shit in my post. That just gets you either ignored or flagged.
Stop wasting MY TIME!
</ rant>
Why are some people so fucking retarded.
Please flag me so I can get some attention spamming your comment section.
Nice post dear, love the focus of your energy and the no bullshit approach you take with users.
Have a nice day, follow 4 follow?
You are doing a very good job and I will vote you as witness as you requested.
Thank you for your support.
As a Jehova's Witness?
I'd be really bad because I would never visit anyones house.
hi dear
great phapography
I like read
follow my back, it's kinda itchy
I know what you feel.
Under my post about that fire incident we had a couple months ago, some guy commented "nice". Really? Nice?! Oh boy, how nice it is to breathe in toxic gases and be in a state of panic, worry and confusion for a couple of hours straight, followed by a headache that lasts for at least until the next evening and anxiety that won't end even after 2 months. Just splendid!
See you in two weeks and I'll scratch your back!
Clearly someone read your post and thought that fire spices up your life!
unflag my post skunk
The amount of bots posting has become annoying, however just down vote them so they don't get rewarded for posting. Peace and keep up the good work.
Don't have to tell me twice on the flag part... but somehow they get mad at me for doing so🤔
ok skunky , going to sleep now but will take care of you . I'll teach you a lesson .
you old fugly skunk
😂😂 this is so true. There is so much more engagement here, than say Facebook, but some (many?) of the comments I get too are not real gems of quality. PREACH sister! ✊🏽😘
(Cutest damn picture you chose for your rant)
🤗 Yes, it's still a lot better in here, even with the spam and shit.
Don't call me cute when I try to look scary!😅😈
😜

Interesting article followed & upvoted
You are making my eyes hurt!
Whip me
Not falling for that!
you will be falling for what ever you piece of shit , unflag my post !!!!!!!!
Have you ever thought that maybe they are charmed by your beauty and they loose their minds and can not think normal!😉
I really really wish that would be the case but I highly doubt it!
HAhahha. Isn't that what it's all about? Writing shit comments without reading to get upvotes. lol
Awhile back I saw somewhere two spammers commenting back and forth of someones post. You would have loved that. They weren't even making sense to each other just upvoting their own comments every time hahaha
Argh, what a waste of good space in the blockchain!
you and your stinky ass is definitely the biggest waste of blockchain space
You tell them girl! I've been following you for some time but just finally set up my account so I wanted to finally tell you how much I enjoy reading your posts and I absolutely LOVE that you are sharing sexual freedom, it's something that's very true to my heart! All in all another great post and I look forward to reading more! ❤️❤️❤️
Awww that is so sweet, thank you! Welcome to Steemit🤗
Thanx so much! Thrilled to be here!
stay away from this abusive skunk for your own good
Your expectations may be too high. Read, understand, and write something intelligent or thought-provoking. ..."Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
Keep posting great content (and rants too). Many of us enjoy it and will work harder to provide more value-add comments. ...btw, it is great that you respond to the comments.
They are not, but I'm still always disappointed when I notice people being so fucking dumb.
It's funny that I often get the best response on my rants 😅
Yeah I do love reading books every now and then. I mostly read school books because I don't have time for other books.
Sarcastic comment btw
Want a bed time story?
Sure
Right. You already have bedtime facts.
Which one of the Grimms' Fairy Tales you want?
I don't know, hit me up with something deep
Hansel and Grethel is always a good one.
Ahh yes a very thought-provoking piece of work
I feel you.. Bot sucks, spam sucks. No one read your posts, they’re only craving for more reputation, or an upvote... which is normal. At least because steemit itself is only a platform that still letting people (or Bot) to do that unpleasant things.
I never understand spam comment though. What is the real meaning of “nice” comments? How much upvote will he get with such effortless writing...
I do have to say that I am lucky to have a very loyal following of people who really do read my stuff and comment genuinely, but it's definitely not always the case!
Yeah, I don't get it either, why would anyone waste their time on that, it's not like anyone will ever upvote "nice" comments.
I want to know why did you flag my post about environmental danger in my city ????
it is very important information for people here !!!!
I have come to realise that stupidity will never die out and to save nerves and time I have mastered the skill of Ignoring. I am also quite good at ignoring problems until they go away by themselves. This of course requires much patience and endurance. In the end we all have to find our own methods to deal with the idiots of the world so we can focus on using our energy for creating and inspiring those who understand.
Much love from Germany.
I'm trying to learn the skill of ignoring too, it's does the soul good. Arguing with idiots will never lead to anything good. Hi to Germany, you must have a pretty nice weather in there already!
Yes, mother nature is showing off all her colours and scents! The wind is still cool and quite fresh but the sun very strong when she is out.
very true im with you all the way on this topic. Thats why i kind've given up on writing things and going deep on here cause we live in a world where peoples attentions span is dumbing down day by day. So now im like fuck it ill just stick to sharing photos!
You're photos already speak volumes!
Thanks love, means allot!
unflag my post skunky
You had to feel better after clicking the "post" button on that one! Mindlessness would aggravate you. You are fluent in at least two languages which puts you close to the top of the intellectual food chain regardless of the people you run with. Steemit is a place where people you would not ordinarily feel comfortable being around exist in vast numbers. And let's face it, some of the 'uncovered images can draw a crowd including old men like me hoping for a wink from a pretty girl : )
I do feel better, ranting is like purging out bad energy! I wouldn't raise myself on top of the food chain just because I speak two languages, but I do have other traits too💁🏻♀️
😘😉
I'll give you some bad energy you fucking monkey , unflag my post !!!
The spammer's goal is to reach the largest possible target audience. Your indignation, or mine, or of anyone else who is targeted is irrelevant. This needs to be solved at system level. If it were possible for the author of a post to set a price each commentator had to pay for making one comment, that would cut down on the number of spam comments real quick. You could negate the cost of commenting by upvoting all the worthy comments or putting select people on a whitelist enabling you to auto-upvote all their comments on your posts.
I don't like auto voting because I trust no one to make good content and comments all the time, and I want all my votes to be genuine. But it would be a good idea to have more control over who can comment, thus limiting the majority of spam and letting the real comments shine.
The whitelist upvote could simply equal the system-imposed cost of commenting in order to cancel its effect on your regulars. Alternatively, you could manually upvote all of your regular's comments that were genuine and good.
I, for one, tend to stay away from comment sections where my comments never get upvoted. That's because I value my time and because never getting upvoted in somebody's comment section is often a symptom of not being appreciated. I'd assume most my regulars to feel the same way, which is why I'd be glad to whitelist them to enable them to comment for free.
I do upvote a lot of comments, especially ones from the regulars, because I do appreciate them, and you, even though we don't always agree! :)
Well, I do hang around here at times.
Yes you do, and I should really back my words with more scientific evidence so that you didn't have to try and correct me🤓🤓🤓
It's my pleasure.
you are so scientific , punk
be careful with this skunk buddy
She's got some quite powerful accounts supporting her regularly. If the owners of those accounts get tired of this, you might get on their shitlists. @berniesanders is one of @everuncovered's followers if not regular supporters. If he gets tired of your harrassment campaign, you will never recover from that shitstorm. This account of yours will as good as done for.
she is old stinky skunk
Where is this post of yours that she flagged but you think she shouldn't have?
only post I have in last 7 days , about environmental dangers in my city . it is not even in English , this stupid bitch flagged it
Well commenting earns you money too, as far as I know at least. That's why you can write some bullshit comment and earn, doesnt matter what it is, easy :D
I don't know anyone whose bullshit comments make money, if they are not upvoting them by themself, or buy votes for it.
Well maybe, don't know about it, just have heard something lol. But OH MY GOD, I HAVE COMMENTED UNDER YOUR POSTS IN HOPES OF A COUPLE OF CENTS EARNED. Never again, NEVER!
sarcasm alert
Today you are in luck!
YESS, It's a happy day!
unflag my post skunk
my post is still flagged , don't piss me off you little piece of shit
but you know who is making money on bullshit posts , unflag my post skunk !
much model. very sunset. plz followsme thanksss?
I knew I'd get the funny ones on this 😈
Here nobody reads posts not yours not mine.
Lies!!
Then nobody shouldn't comment either.
I get the frustration 😂
Most of the time I'm just confused that what the hell are these people talking about and I need to check that what the hell I wrote because I don't remember talking about this topic 😅
Lol
Because somehow they have an understanding that more comments means more rewards for them. They have no clue that their pointless responses earn them nothing. Sorry for your frustration and I feel your pain. There are time you just want to reach through the screen and smack some of them with a frying pan.
I guess quality over quantity doesn't mean much to most people.
🍳 I'd give the egg as an extra if I could do that!
I don't think it does. I have had 6 new 'followers' in the past week. Each of them post YouTube videos (at least 5 a day if not more) and that's it. No Write up, no link to the site, no credit given to the original creator. They are lazy for one, not sure what they hope to accomplish. I mute them and move on, but what really sucks is there are idiots that vote for that, but not for something like this.
I commented and flagged a post made by a guy like that. He started calling me a liar and started threatening me :D I do not like those people.
I know I shouldn't, but I've stayed away from flagging. Maybe when my SP higher and I can take a hit. What is wrong with saying...your content is wrong or bad? Then what gives them the right to retaliate they way they do. I guess they're the new trolls. Don't give me what I want Im just going to downvote you into oblivion.
The worst is they don't even understand why it's wrong. This mentality of everything you can access on the internet is free, is beyond ridiculous. All for a buck.
Arggghhh, don't even get me started about plagiarism and the people who support it, makes my blood boil even hotter than it normally does! 😤
Great post. I'm new here but I saw it too. I would like to create a blog devoted to psychology but in this whole spam of bots I lose hope. How do you think writing valuable content Do I have chance on Steemit?
Well, it is hard to get noticed, but maybe you could find a good audience of likeminded people. It might take some time, or maybe you get a lucky break fast. The possibility is that it might not even be worth your time, if I'm totally honest. But if it's something you enjoy writing about, of course do it.
Thanks for the answer. I think that is the point, to stop thinking about earning and doing what you love to do. Maybe someday... :D
A person is free to express his opinion in any language available to him, but the cultural heritage of any person depends on his upbringing. "If a woman swears" - it's ugly, it lowers itself.
You are joking right?
of course a joke, great post, never read anything like it. Oh, sorry I don't want to waste YOUR TIME.)))
You had me there for a second!
I feel like 70% of the comments here are joking
You have never met a true lady until you met one that puts you in your place and if that takes some swearing then oh well it is just words.
Get over it @aydogdy you have entered the world of multiculturism.
Great post Eve!
Is this your first day on the internet?
Actually, have you ever talked to people?
Yes it is actually, could you show me where detention is held?
I try to avoid all situations that require human interactions.
no one reads..... what are words....
Glad we can take the pics and look at the pics, more words in those anyways...
Very nice post 😂😂😂
Srry
That is not irrelevant 💁🏻♀️
Danggg, who is that model? What a babe.
She doesn't actually exist, it's all photoshop!
but really... what is the name of that weapon?
The whip or my sharp mind? 😈
Ahh, both are very frightening to have in a woman’s arsenal
sharp mind ???? you dumb fuck-face . unflag my post immediately
If you want a contain, just get out with your real friends. Here people are trying to make some coins. Nothing has changed. Smth is still missing!
I'm here to make money too.
Selling and creating are very different things, many times opposite! What doy think about Van Gog, for example? He wasn't a seller, but great creator. And good sellers aren't creators many times...
Well, I am both then.
So talents don't need luck, so I wish you maybe more self-criticism:)
unflag my post skunk
we'll help you not to , you little punk / piece of shit
You look so beautiful, and you have so much reason. Upvote for you, I hope the message reaches to people
haha, love your rants (and when you are angry), and the comment examples you gave are so funny 🤣
What is it with you guys and liking me when I'm angry? 😅
you are missing some upbringing you little scum , unflag my post
well, do you ever upvote?
yes, sort of ...
This post is at over $100 ($100.32) and has many (82) comments. Yet, I have only counted $0.06 to $0.09 upvotes (@apsu , @georgemales , @dromzz x3 , @mrosenquist , @chuck2u32 , @markkujantunen , @tryskele , @paolajane ) from you @eveuncovered ...
I upvote comments on all of my active posts, and I obviously upvote other peoples content all the time, trying to disperse it widely across different interests of mine. I don't have an insane amount of steem power so it is not like my upvotes are worth much and the voting power is limited too. Read the white paper if you want to understand how the economics work in here.
It is your choice, of course, but, I am stating the obvious and it is directly related to your rant.
Even IF those were $0.10 votes, 10 * $0.10 = $1.00 and that is less than 1% of what you earn so far for this short post - a rant.
So, why are people making meaningless comments mostly?
Well, what and who do you reward?
Attention, even the negative kind, encourages the behavior and the kind of comments.
If you ignore meaningless comments and reward sincere and meaningful comments, then the right behavior will come.
It is a free country, but, don't complain about behavior that you yourself encouraged.
All the best!
you are not upvoting anybody you stinky liar
She upvotes a lot of us, male and female alike. She just has a low level of tolerance for stupidity, like most of us do.
:D
There are some classics in your replies. Haven't been on here long enough. There are lots of idiots on here and understand your frustrations.
You'll learn the ropes in no time, it's mostly the same stuff all day every day.
I gathered. Understand this place more each day. Find a core group and stick together.
Definitely, find a few likeminded people and you'll have a lot of fun :)
I will. Just got to sift through all the crap first. Got a few already and have added you. So it is a good start.
I want to know why did you flag my post about environmental danger in my city ????
it is very important information for people here !!!!
I totally understand your pain.
I get the endless streams of “nice post” comments as well and have answered questions that were very clearly answered in the post on many occasions.
Many people are just commenting to get their name on posts that are performing well and in front of people who might upvote them more than a few cents.
They don’t read the whole article since all they’re doing is skimming it to get a basic understanding of the topic before commenting.
It’s quite disrespectful given the amount of effort that goes in to producing good content. My post yesterday took about 4 hours to prepare for example. Thankfully most of the comments are good. But some people very clearly just skimmed over my content without taking in the main points.
When there’s potential for financial gain, there will always be those who just want a quick win. But if people took this seriously, and only followed people whose content they enjoyed, then the comments and engagement would be all the better.
I agree! I know that some comments may be non english speakers, but there are some that are definitely bots. I hate to be rude to people, but it's so difficult to have your post spammed with nonsense comments. I even have a new friend who is on Steemit. She is Mexican, and english is her second language. Even she was asking me about these types of comments. She was having trouble telling if they were bots or just non-english speaking posts.
Thank you @eveuncovered, you have put a smile on my face this morning! We all get these kinds of posts from time to time (i have to say i'm quite lucky - being new on this platform, i have suffered less from it than most) but i have enjoyed your honest and straightforward response to those commenters...i hope they read it too but something tells me they probably won't...
I’m glad to hear I make some people smile with my rants, and others cry 😁 I tend to poke the bear quite often, so I already know what gets people riled up.
Well i hope it makes a difference! Maybe someone will read your thoughts and decide to take extra care in reading your text next time, rather than looking for a quick reward. It's refreshing for me to see someone who is not afraid to speak their mind, rather than just trying to please the crowd for an upvote or two. Keep on being you @eveuncovered, the world needs more people like that :)
I’d like to think that one of the reasons I do well on Steemit is that I don’t kiss ass and I’m not afraid of speaking up about the things that bother me. Thank you very much for the kind words, makes a girl happy even when she hasn’t gotten out of bed yet🤗
Glad to put a smile on your face @eveuncovered, and thanks for your support - much appreciated :)
lets see you poke a bear you little skunk
lets go you little skunk , explain people here why did you flag my post about environmental hazard . tell them who you actually are

Folks if you are just starting on steemit or you are considering investing in STEEM , DON'T . Because sooner or later you will be facing psychopaths and mafia gangs here that will not allow you to say what you want and will take all your income . Don't waste your time here folks
'poke a bear' ??? you took 0.40 $ by flagging little guy . you are psycho who oppress planktons here on steemit
Congratulations @eveuncovered!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
Let me tell you a story ...
Come on, I hate to be the one telling you that but just chill out, this is simply the flipside of popularity. I for one would love to have that many people come and look at my pictures, comment on it or ask questions (even stupid ones). Just ignore the questions you don't want to waste time answering (for good reasons).
YO , skunk why did you flag my post about environment problems in my home town ???
