Hive has some pretty interesting incentives that makes people want to be active on it. But letting those incentives be your primary driving force often doesn't reward as much. Instead find the hidden value that excites you and keep coming back for more.

I think they're commenting wrong then... It's about offering value. You can offer value with your comment even if you didn't read the whole thing, but you'll still have to read and find something worth to engage in.

Which is hard to do & that's why "useless" comments are common.

That is true. Part of it also stems from the need to get rich quick, which draws many people to crypto earning opportunities. They never really shed that need and mentality, resulting in low effort actions.

As @harlowjourney has mentioned... Commenting without reading the whole thing is risky.

After reading their comment, I started leaning more toward reading all the posts than supporting reading a few paragraphs & commenting on them.

Yeah, there is a fine line I think. A situation where I might not read is when the main focus is a 3speak video for example. The author may have written a small caption as well, which is easily overlooked. I sometimes just watch the entire video and forget the caption. It all depends though.

@ahmadmangazap Commenting on a piece without reading all of it is risky and disrespectful to the writer. I find it hugely irritating when people comment on my work when they clearly have not read all of it. I would prefer no comments at all.

Why is this? I find that at least half my comments are by people who are clearly "doing engagement." Their comments are on my headline or on one or two points I made. That would be okay except that, usually, I have already addressed their point if they would give me the respect of reading my work.

If people don't want to read my work, that is totally fair. Then... don't.

When I comment, I try to make sure I understand what the writer is saying. Sometimes, I read the piece more than once. If I am not interested enough to read it even once, I don't comment.

While this approach might not do my engagement numbers any favours, I think it has integrity. And, if integrity counts for nothing, what's the point?

However, beyond that, it is frustrating for the writer. You sit down and spend usually a few hours (in my case) creating a piece of writing, and then, some people read the first paragraph and say, "Oh, sure, but what about X?" Well, X is in the third paragraph if you had read that far.

Now, I have to either ignore the comment, which is bad form, reply politely even though I feel irritated and disrespected, or reply honestly, "Hey, dude, why don't you actually read this and then comment?" which would not win me any friends. It puts the writer in a no-win situation, and, frankly, I hate it.

I read your response and thinking about it, I completely agree.

It's just that I tend to check if what I'm asking in my reply is addressed in the post itself, but it might be even easier to read the whole thing in the first place.

Thanks!

I recognize the situation of already having addressed something in the post, when someone raises that point. I usually just give an upvote and move on. As you said, it's a complicated situation, and I'd rather not have unnecessary conflict. The blatantly obvious "great post, thanks for sharing" comments should be ignored though, if it is a repeat offender.

If I see the person is new (by amount of posts and/or reputation) I try to give some advice.

It is much more logical to find ideas that we will not get bored while writing for years. So actually it's like what you said.
I write on different subjects and I don't get bored. 😀

I sometimes try to find different twists and perspectives as well, to keep things interesting, for the readers as well as for me.

If commenting just for the upvotes, then it makes no difference whether the pill is for a small child or a large horse. Commenting has to be done with intent, with purpose-- beyond wanting the upvote. Offer value, the upvote will take care of itself.

Yes indeed, it's the same with doing good for others. There is no need to share it with everyone or to expect something in return. If you're a good person, somehow you will automatically get something back from the universe.
