Great write up. :) I agree with most of it.
One small part I disagreed with was..
There are always a bunch of new people that clearly are not reading and leaving just one word replies. That doesn't help anyone
I don't really like that behavior either and don't promote it, but.. I do think comments work similarly on here as they do on other social media like Facebook and such and if so then each comment should help with the algorithms and getting your post seen by more people. So.. Those bots and people who do that aren't totally useless. Heh. Still gives a bad image in my opinion though, as I mentioned I don't like it.
HAHAH, you are very right. There can be some residual effects for the blogger, but the single word replies won't help that person become successful. I follower everyone that leaves a good reply on my stuff... I don't follow one word replies. lol. I will respond with one word though... hahaha. I appreciate your insight and thank you very much for reading and replying.
Yeah the residual benefits are there. But i can't stand it when people do. Just a couple days ago i posted about the death of my SIL from heroin overdose. First comment was "nice pics" like really?
yeah that isn't cool. Sorry to hear about you SIL. Thank you for reading and replying.
Sure thing, I enjoy your posts
