RE: Is Commenting Really Worthwhlie? (TLDR - Yes!)
I Upvoted you 100% and I appreciate your comment and agree with your sentiments for the most part. I think in an ideal situation, we would all be incentivized to behave completely naturally, but there is much refinement yet to be made. Still, I don't think anyone should be ashamed for strategically commenting, so long as they are genuinely adding value. It's akin to looking for business opportunities. Steemit is a social platform, but the commercial aspect is rarely far from anyones minds.
You are right, it is naive of me to think that people only comment and blog for the same off it, I am including myself in that comment - text can lead to misunderstanding (I once made a joke on a text message and nearly lost a friend)
I'm agreeing with you :-) Everyone has to have the commercial aspect of this platform in their mind.
I suppose all I was saying was that we shouldn't limit your responses to those that make money only.
Don't know if I talked myself into a circle, bit Im sure you know what I mean :-)
Yeah I get you completely. My behavior is a mixture of both really. Often I comment or vote purely sincerely. I like when that happens. There really is some great content and engagement on here. Hoping the new communities feature improves on this when it's introduced later in the year.
