People are posting comments all the time on my threads, promoting their stuff, such as ways to increase traffic, ways to make money with Steemit or Busy related links, business products, etc etc...So if they can do this, and this environment allows for it, so can everyone. That is what this environment is about. Contributing to the articles of others, link exchange. If I have made a comment relevant to your article and then post a link of mine, while others are posting comments to my articles with no relevant information to my articles and only promoting their stuff, it is not fair for criticizing others who do the same. Particularly when someone has posted a comment very relevant to your article and then exchange requests to share a link. That is unfair treatment of others.

Just to make it clear: everyone can do whatever he/she wants with his/her own posts. I am just (kindly) asking you to stay in topic for this steemstem post: gravitational waves. This holds for you as well as for anyone else as well, and I would answer the same thing to anyone else. It is not because there is a part of the comment on-topic that one should promote a post on a different topic.
PS: You are free to treat your own posts in this way. I do the same with my own and after some time, the amount of irrelevant links posted as comments to my posts is close to 0.
