Oh, it's metagame!
Commenting, you could get upvoted on. Also, you might get extra followers. Posts, you have to dick around with until you're really happy with everything. Quite the ballache half the time if you ask me. Comments, you're restrained by your typing speed mostly. They don't have to be that fancy. Of course, try to keep your standards up but if they slip at times, no-one's going to give a shit, are they?
And then - of course - there's where you comment. You can be helpful to nubes and a passing whale might just see how helpful you've been. Or you can attack them directly and hope they throw some blubber your way. ;) :D
You're great. Really. I learn a new trick today.. Thank you so much. I read both your post.. I upvote one of them. My first upvote this morning.. It 7:30 am here.. Just woke up.. Rushing for my day job.. One more question - up voting your own comments or up voting others - which one works better? Oh & I follow you, so I can get more insight.
Thanks. :)
Upvoting yourself increases your rep for one thing and account balance for another. Every little counts. Others? You never know the relationships you could make / break through upvote politics, eh? I think it's a pretty trivial matter, personally, minnow to minnow, anyway. But as the site ultimately revolves around upvotes, basic etiquette would have it that you should do what you think's right, I guess.
Life's too short to worry about it all unless you've gone out of your way to help a poor, floundering whale!
I think we call it reciprocal altruism.
:)
totally & thanks.
