If you are here for quick money then you are in the wrong place. (@mrgreens , 2021)
This statement made by @mrgreen on the 30th/April/2021 got me thinking on a whole lot of issues. When he asked a question what is more important ? Voting or commenting? and i said voting and he laughed. But he told us in as much as voting is important commenting is even more important.....
@thegreens presenting a talk in a seminar held on the 30/04/2021 at Wisdom Garden Hotel
This got me thinking and i was determined more than ever to find out more about steemit. I did more research and discovered "Steemit is a blockchain-based blogging and social media website" ...
In short for you to earn on this platform you need to blog to earn, and who are u blogging for??? Your fans of course. The golden role in social media is always connecting to your fans and you must do so by reacting to fans' comments. Hence, every comment is as important as your reason being on steemit .
These are the types of comment you will expect as far as blogging is concern
1. Positive comments: When you have positive comments you react by appreciating the fan's effort and that could be a a great source of inspiration...
2. Negative comments: This will always come but you must be "a man", to admit and work on corrections to better your blogging..
3.Neutral comments:Neutral comments may be invaluable but it shows the fan cares and sacrificed time to read your article and remember relating with your fans is still paramount , so you must react to that....
Now let's get real!
Why do you comment on posts???? This questions goes mostly to most @steem-cameroon subscribers?????
Do you comment because you are oblige to comment on two posts before dropping you link on a WhatsApp group??? If that is your reason then i will join my voice to that of @thegreens, @fombae, @njitanga, @saxopedia, @tenguhatanga, @yohan2on ,@cryptokannon and many others to say you are in the "wrong place" in as much as you create contents from your heart your commenting on a posts should also come from your heart This will build for you a long lasting reputation and ensure sustainability in the steem ecosystem...
It is very common to see some Cameroon steemians rush on WhatsApp platforms get links and just,write Wow, Nice, Nice day, good one there, Thank you, OK , Indeed etc. Then rush back and say commented then drop a link in a WhatsApp group.
When you react on peoples' post with such short and boring comments, what do you expect on your own posts. So i think it is really a call for concern for all of us that is if we really want to ensure sustainability in this ecosystem.
I may not be experienced on this platform but trust me , steemit is the future.
I have not made any money on steemit so far, and that is because i was not chance to post but bear with me steemit is worth investing in, and that explains why @steem-cameroon came up with the "njangi" program which i am an active member and i intend to power up all my benefits from this "njangi" in a short while.
Here is my take, engage with others because you have this community at heart, and that can only be done through meaningful comments but if you can't because of one reason or the other then relax and fine a suitable time to drop a quality comment than dropping one word as comment on people's posts then rushing back to say commented on the social platform.
Long live quality comments for a sustainable steemit ecosystem
Thanks for reading

Here is a post i love and appreciate a lot. The illusion of getting fast money in the platform has kept many people in the shadow of confusion and deception. I wish e dey dteemian had this mentality then the Cameroon community would be the best community ever on this platform. We need to be real to ourselves and support each other.
As you rightly said, commenting gives you a long lasting reputation and I'm a witness to that. It's been working for me a lot.
Thanks fir this write up! I pray everyone reads this

Thanks a lot bro. I actually had a deep thought within me and i realised we are being selfish to ourselves. Just as you raised the case of us chatting on the whatsapp group without having time to comment on posts.We are killing ourselves.communities will not grow if they always keep only to themselves..

This is very true. I noticed the essence of commenting with Steem Cameroon steemians was to hurry and post our. And that's why many people just comment anything.
And to add to this, I was wrote on the importance of reading. If you cannot read you cannot honestly comment because you won't even know what to comment.
Thank you for the post
