    This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

          Cool. Has nothing to do with what I said about commenting on stuff to help others be interested in posts and show engagement, but cool.

              Oh no, I understand perfectly. The issue is that your comment isn’t related to mine.

              I said “We should all do our best to comment on various posts that have no engagement to encourage others to engage.”

              You then whined with “Yeah but I don’t like astroturfing.”

              Two completely different factors. One is a genuine engagement with social media. The other is not.

              The only other possible thing you argue that you were trying to say here is that the posts that have been astroturfed from reddit aren’t worth commenting on. A genuine point that one could make. However you didn’t make that point.

              Not going to continue this conversation when it started on braindead circumstances and is somehow still going downhill. Goodbye.

                Oh no, I understand perfectly.

                You definitely didn’t considering your responses.

                I said “We should all do our best to comment on various posts that have no engagement to encourage others to engage.”

                You did not say that, you said “The more random ass comments the better”, which I disagree with.

                Two completely different factors. One is a genuine engagement with social media. The other is not.

                If you’re insulted because I implied your comments aren’t genuine, I’m sorry. Genuine is a very subjective word “natural” might have been a better choice. So to reiterate, I really just prefer natural content personally. We don’t need to astroturf the site.

                Baby I can change… 💙
