It is important to get followers, but you also want the correct type of followers. Followers that are truly interested in your blog and what you write, and not the โI-follow-you-if-you-follow-meโ kind of type. And to attract the right type of followers, you need to write godlike comments.
This challenge is all about writing those godlike comments.
- In each challenge a post from a fellow minnow will be featured.
- The challenge is to write an amazing comment related to that post.
- I will resteem the post.
- I will give it a 100% upvote.
This will be part of my campaign to help other Minnows. The #minnowsupportproject helped me and I want to help others.
Join the challenge and practice your skills.
Please join the fun!

- Upvotes are allowed to make the entry more visible, but the upvotes themselves play no role in the challenge.
- The Top5 entries with the most votes(i.e. replies with the words "vote or voted") will be potential winners.
- The two judges will pick the winner from the Top5.
- If the judges can not reach a consensus, they will each pick one candidate and flip a coin. @dorabot will be used for this in MSP's Discord server.
- If the winner is not a Minnow, the prize will be split in 2 and the other half paid out to the best Minnow. After all, this is a competition to encourages Minnows, so hopefully that will be fair.

Hi @danielsaori,
Here is my comment entry
Hi @jrswab,
My age on steemit is less than a day. I am glad I came cross your post as I am trying to learn about steemit. I like what you say as it resonates with how I think.
I have read this Post and it sounded that the person writing this post has been suffering quite a bit. Yet they use their experience as an example to educate others, Post.
I am not sure how many people are keen on fakers. Yesterday I came a cross a post about someone that has been swindling money from people, yet he apparently has many followers and supporters! You can find that here
As I said I am new here and I have been trying to learn more about all of this, so I can't really give a solid opinion nor I can assert the truth behind anything.
Thank you for the inspiring post.
Thank you!
Confirmed!
Welcome to Steemit and best of luck in this contest.
Thank you for your reply.
Commented here and on his post
Nailed the take-home message right here. I think once you see every upvote as a personal gesture, this concept is easy to master. I think it's definitely a discipline, though. Begin by fully reading and understanding what each person is trying to communicate, respond with compassion, and then you can't help but feel rewarded before you ever see an actual reward payout.
Great thoughts, my friend. If more people had this attitude, Steemit would be a better place. I think I'll bookmark this post to share with new users in the future. There's much to be learned from the attitudes you've outlined here.
Thank you for sharing, and I look forward to more great content. I'm headed over to check out the "You Need More Patience" post you referred to. Keep up the good work!
Confirmed!
Great comment and great to have you in the contest.
Posted on the original article:
Hey @jrswab again, what an incredible post. Your words couldn't have come at a better time. I feel like outside of the STEEM ecosystem our world is incredibly polarized and your quote here really hit home for me:
I think it's so important to think about that before commenting on anyone's work regardless of where it has been posted. It's incredibly easy to be negative and down putting online where you can be somewhat anonymous. However, if more people had compassion and the ability to put themselves in other's shoes I think the internet would be a much kinder place. That's the bigger picture I took away from your post.
I have found this community to be so accepting and fun. I really attribute it to you and others like you who are more about building the community than profiting off of it. After being on here for only a few weeks I can see that this place is very special.
Thanks again for another wonderful post, and for reminding us what is really important in life.
Entry confirmed!
Wish you the best of luck.
Being in the US it is easy to forget how good we have it here compared with the rest of the world. I sometimes forget that Steemit is more an international platform then my other social media timewasters.
I wrote a post yesterday about the Success Of Steemit Depends On You that ties in nicely with your compassion theme. To borrow an entirely overused cliche..........Be The Change You Want To See In The World.
As Steemians we are all in the same boat. We all want to be successful here and want steem to be valuable. But that only happens if we engage and interact with each other. Steem is a currency but the real value of Steemit is the people who make the community.
Ok enough cheesy feel good stuff. Keep up the good work homie. Followed to see more.
Entry confirmed!
Best of luck!
Here's my entry. I also left the comment on his post. :-)
As far as compassion goes I think Steemit might be the best place on the internet. In other online "communities" I've visited there seems to be so many hateful people. I noticed immediately that for Steemit users that does not seem to be the case. Nine times out of ten, even if the poster and commenters do not agree, they conduct themselves in a civil way. In fact, I'm secretly dreading Steemit becoming more popular, because I know that the welcoming attitudes we have here may degrade.
I guess because the internet gives anonymity people think this gives them license to be awful to each other. That's a real shame. The internet is an amazing tool we can use to spread knowledge and support, and we all need to remember that when we interact with others. Steemit's slogan could totally be "The nicest place on the web". In fact.. I might have to write a post about it. haha
To what degree do you think the monetary reward system shapes the way people behave?
I'm sure that plays a role. Especially since getting flagged can effect your rewards, and if you're nicer then somebody is more likely to up vote your comment. However, based on my time in other communities I attribute it more to the "size effect". Once something becomes famous enough detractors start to move in. I've experienced this on Reddit where small sub-reddits were great communities, but as soon as a sub hit the front page people who had no interest in the actual subject moved in, and the attitude of the sub seriously declined.
Yes, it will be interesting to see how Steemit will change if we will have a 10 times, 100 times bigger community.
Confirmed!
Great comment and best of luck!
