The hourglass nears empty
Sand sifts slowly through
And the thing about time
Is that it changes you
The person who watched
That first grain descend
Won't see the last one
Meet its end
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. I do think is unreasonable though, we do use those words in real life to show appreciation so I don't get why here it is not OK and it's funny how whales are OK with posting shitty posts but they care about quality comments...I'll write something about it in the future. Or is it a bad idea to piss off the whales? Lol, you know what I don't care...lol...anyway again thank you so much for your help, highly appreciated.
You're welcome :). There are definite instances of some whales throwing around their power outrageously but in this case, it's more of a reaction to 'comment farming/spamming' accounts. Some of them are bots, some of them are human run but what they have in common is that they comment several (sometimes hundreds of times) per day on random posts. They tend to use shorter comments like 'Nice post', 'Good post', 'Amazing photos' because they're vague enough to be widely applicable and since they do it often, all they need is for a small fraction of those comments to get upvoted for them to profit a little. I've posted some of my longer stuff in the past and had a comment show up 2 seconds later (nobody reads that fast). So, while you actually meant what you said, and your blog confirms that you're not just saying it to everyone, it's easy to get caught in the crossfire in the war on comment spam, especially when you're new. But since you're open minded to advice you should be fine 👍.
Changes are good friends.
Nice poem
Thanks, I checked out your blog and you're a real person so I'm going to give you a tip that might come in handy: two-word comments (especially those that start with the word 'nice') get flagged sometimes. I don't do it myself but some of the larger accounts do. You can learn more about that in posts like these: https://steemit.com/steemcleaners/@steemcleaners/the-art-of-commenting https://steemit.com/steemit/@sethlinson/how-should-the-steemit-community-deal-with-comment-spam https://steemit.com/steemit/@joseph/meaningless-comments-spam
