RE: Do you really want to EARN rewards?
I often wonder how people with a large following have the time to look over every comment and reward them adequatly. I often post comments, where I express my opinion and they usually are considerably long, which means that it takes time to read. 85% of the time, I don't get an answer and the top comments are "nice job bro", essentially this means that the author does not bother reading the comments and auto-votes them.
I want to congratulate you for reading what your audience has to say, this is a very serious effort which is often overlooked.
I guess flagging has a chance of accomplishing something, let's hope it will. I am glad you made a clarification for your last post, to be honest it seemed too offensive and I (as a reader) felt uncomfortable.
Will help you with flagging, yo :)
Thanks for that feedback. It's very important for me to get good, honest feedback. I got some comments yesterday that made it pretty clear that that post did not go over well, much less achieve its objective. Aggressive hard hitting truths not kept in context can be taken wrong, and then when you couple that with indirect interpretations that many surely made, I can understand how you were probably not alone in feeling uncomfortable. I'm trying my best to create real community with real people who have real lives and real experiences to share with one another in one small area of our collective experience - independent thinkers risking being honest and frank - and I think that flagging junk just might work out very well - very few of the abusers have posted here today. 😁
Yes, a small step in the right direction ! No problem for the feedback, I think a good discussion/feedback gives us invaluable information, food for thought. This is the only way to improve ! On that note, I would be happy when you have time to check out my blog - I am curious what kind of tips you can give me :)
P.S. Hard hitting truths is rarely a successfull strategy, you did well when you decided to write a follow-up :)
You'd think I'd have learned that by now. 🙄
We often forget what we've learned. Sometimes emotions take over :) Nothing wrong, lol
