Commenting is one of my more favorite sides of Steemit. It’s just sad when most comment sections are filled with spam and other nonsense. Some time’s I just ignore them, other times I poke a little fun, and even sometimes I’ll upvote other comments to put them where they deserve up top.

Part of the issue is authors don’t always spend a lot of time curtailing their own comment sections. Some are really great at it and even spend a fair amount of time engaging with people who leave comments.

Others they just let things stand as they will down in the comments. I try and do my part most of the time to create a comment section I want to see in other blogs in my own.

Another is there are bots out there that randomly upvote comment based on some keywords and some spammers seem to be fishing for those upvotes. Some people also just upvote any comment they get even if its just copy/paste spam. It starts to get a bit concerning when you see people make it up to 50+ reputation and all they do is copy/paste spam all day. People need stop rewarding them so they will invest time and resources elsewhere. Or just maybe try for once.
