Advice asked: I become a bit frustrated by to cope-paste replies from some newbies.

in life •  8 years ago 

Last week it happened to me a few times. Same reply to different posts from the same persons. I choose not to use names, but the ones will recognize their actions, I hope.

It's just not coolI Make your own original replies instead of begging for votes and followers by using the same copy-paste over and over again. If I check their profiles, they do it everywhere.

Some examples:

Anyways, am I the only one getting annoyed by these comments?

I don't like to flag, because I told them they should not do it. But they don't respond or say sorry or something and just continue copy-pasting the same comment everywhere. What should I do? Just let go right?

It can be annoying. I think so employed that strategy at like 50 followers just to gain more. They probably don't realize the best way to gain followers is by leaving REAL comments with substance. I stopped the follow me follow you garbage 250 people ago. But it's just a way of getting a feel for steemit. Try not
to let it annoy you.

lol. thanks! I know, maybe it's just not my day ;-). But I needed this. You are so right! Thanks a lot for your response!

Yes its a bit annoying ...i also feel the same
People joining steemit for fast easy buck fail to understand that its quality of posts which will attract people .the strategy of follow for follow doesnt work..
I try to ignore the first timers by leaving a coment if thanks & ignoring howdver if they continue to spam post i would flag off...

exactly! that's the thing. Many people here are trying to write good content, they are here for a while. But I'll try to keep in mind that they are gone within a split second if they find out they will not make the thousands some posts do!

Wow! I have gotten that reply too! Unbelievable the lengths people will go to game the system!

yeah! I know. You can see on steemd these people do it for days, (copy-paste) and even welcome older members to steemit. lol

I just commented on another post and within a minute that exact reply was posted!!!!!

yess!! Maybe it s a bot?

I hadn't really paid attention to it before but you might be right!
