RE: Peer Enabled Creative Mediocrity - Don't Fall For The Steemit Compliment Trap!
Wise words. You've hit the nail on the head here.
(Seriously, this isn't a false compliment... or is it? And That's the problem online, and especially here on steemit - you just can't tell if someone is being sincere with their praise of your work/post. Reminds me of when I first joined steemit, how surprised I was by how polite everyone was. Didn't take long to realise it's because everyone is (mostly) on their best behaviour because potential dollars are at stake )
Yeah, I've gotten much better at sniffing out sincere comments, like the ones you make. Certainly happy that there is an element of genuine community. It might only make up about 10% of the interaction, but it's easy to separate the wheat from the chaff and build genuine community/relationships. Still, I take all compliments with a large grain of salt! And so should you Jasper, you sexy beast!
