RE: 115 Votes Given In A Single Day! - I Overstep Myself!
Good, I'm glad you don't vote for those people that are fishing just for comments. They think they are so smart trying to leave those generic comments.
That's a lot of upvotes. Did you know there is a contest that is encouraging people to curate? I want to leave the link here for you, but you seem to be against links in a comment. The link is not to my site, so I'm going to take a chance and leave it here for you. https://gosteem.com/contest/@carrieallen/comment-challenge-win-sbd
Well, I'm not generally against the links in the comments, especially not if they are contextual (like yours here). I leave such links in my comments to others as well.
I'm just against those links that are fishing ones and that usually follows that famous "Nice post!" kind of comments leading to own posts that don't have anything to do with the topic of my post. 😉😊
Okay. Good to hear. If you keep up that 115 votes every day, you would really be popular in that contest I posted there. I don't remember the rules, but I think all you have to do is make good comments and be sure that the judge knows you're in the contest.
Yeah, I know about those contests (as the one you mentioned is not the only one) encouraging people to post more meaningful comments which I find a very good initiative.
On the other hand, in this post, I was trying to prove how such comments (even when they are not the part of some contest) might be rewarding.
In other words, I'm not the one who is trying to earn some extra buck in such contests with my own comments, but more the one who is trying to reward my readers for their interaction and comments left under my posts. Equally, I'm not on some big hunt for new followers as I think my followers base already reached a very respectable number, although it could always be better and despite the fact that each new follower still makes me very happy.
Therefore, I would rather leave more room (in such contests) for other members who might need the boost those contests might give them much more than I do.
