Treat Comments as Microblogs
Commenting is a positive habit. Suppose you post blogs and don't get any comments. How do you feel if there are no comments? And how do you feel when you see a comment on your article? A single comment can uplift the mental state from frustration to inspiration. How do you treat a comment? I try to react to all comments on my blogs. Here, on RaedCash, I don't get a large number of comments. So, replying is possible. I remember getting 100+ comments on LinkedIn articles during 2014 - 2015. Before Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, the features and engagement were better! On LinkedIn and most other platforms, we can click "Like" and reply to comments. ReadCash has given the option for "Like," "reply," and also "upvoting" comments. I try to reply to all comments. Comments are direct feedback to the blogs. Consider comments as microblogs and treat them respectfully. I try to reply to every comment on my articles published here and elsewhere. Reply to all comments. I often support commenters. I often try to scan the blogs of the commenters. If the titles attract my reading, I go inside the article and try supporting it with a comment and a reciprocal upvote (if the commenter has already upvoted my post). I often upvote a comment based on its content and logic. The below screenshot is an example of a comment on my article "Who Needs an Eraser", and how I replied and supported a comment. https://read.cash/@Unity/who-needs-an-eraser-bfc9ac0c
*Graphics: A screenshot of a comment from an* *article**.* https://read.cash/@Unity/who-needs-an-eraser-bfc9ac0c What does a comment mean to you? I treat comments as connected microblogs. So, I always try to reply to all comments. I also try to support the commenters. What does a comment mean to you? How do you treat comments on your articles? Do you upvote a comment? Postscript Comments are often full of insights. Comments also sometimes give new ideas. Comments can authenticate a reader with the author. Replying to comments is often a challenge for those who get many comments. Sometimes, comments are banal and contain repetitive appreciation. texts. It is also dull to write the same "thank you" reply to all similar comments. I am curious about what you reply to similar comments. `[Sponsor of this article]`

I do love leaving comments every time I read the article but there are times the writer who wrote the article is a bit off, just leaving an upvote without even replying. it's nice to have a little bit of reply and start a conversation.
I know those bloggers who get ample airdrop support on their somewhat ambiguous articles from the platform and upvote a minimal amount on every comment. They get nil comments and pennies on publish0x.
No idea on publishOx, is that a platform same as read cash? What do you prefer? Read or noise?
Publish0x is a crypto-blogging platform, but there is no bot. You can repost your ReadCash articles. Readers upvote with their daily pool of rewarding cryptos offered by the platform. You can earn ETH and AMPL. Join with this link https://www.publish0x.com/?a=K9b6R5GlbE
You mean you can earn by others upvote? So in the end of the day some people earn some not if you just upvote others without getting any upvote back?
On Publish0x, the post's title and quality have roles in attracting readers to upvote. You can't see who upvoted and "Liked/Unliked." Of course, you can mention your actions in the comment, like "Liked & upvoted." You can see who your followers are. Most importantly, the admin team replies to your queries.
Oww I see just like noise.app Now I understand Thank you so much my dear friend for elaborating.
More elaboration: (0) Feature-rich GUI. (1) Admins reply to queries. -- you won't find it on RC and NC/NA. (2) You can see who your followers are. -- hidden on RC, NC/NA. (3) The platform organizes competitions -- never saw these on RC, NC/NA.
Comments are mirror to writer where he looks his black and white about write up. The encouragement, motivation and inspiration comes through comments but these comments should be relevant, constructive and on the point.
Comments are mirrors, yes, very much true. Comments reflect different views of the readers.
Comments simply means that the reader has an interest with the published article, their comments can be an addition to the said topic. I feel sad when there is no one giving comment on my post, really.
And, replying to comments is also a duty of the author.
Commenting on article, depends on what the article is, if it interest me..I comment
Writing a comment depends on the readers' interest. Replying to a comment is the duty of the author.
Commenting can definitely inspire us to write more, most especially if you can read between their words that they really gave a time to not only read but also comprehend your article. So if someone commented in my article, I will automatically reply cause I also love to know what are their insights with regard to the topic. Also when I comment, I really tried to comprehend what they are trying to imply in order for them to get motivated as well, and a way to appreciate their piece.
Thank you for your time and comment. I often get ideas for new blogs from the comments and my replies to the comments.
You are right mate we should know the worth of comments on our blog and appreciate them as much possible.
I am glad you agree with my point :)
A comment means to me that my article is worth engaging to the person and my words are understandable. And most of times some comments are fun and interesting to start a meaningful conversation. Apart from spams and unethical ones, I welcome all types of comments. Sometimes I upvote comments if the comment is a different suprising answer to my liking, haha.
A different mind and perspective ✌😁. Sometimes commentors give us ideas surprisingly.
Comments indicates if the person actually did read your blog and that is indeed a great motivation and also a great form of appreciation for an author.
Comments can detect whether the commenter is a real person or a spammer.
This I strongly believe.
Yes I upvote the comments usually the first ones and if the second and next comments attracted me, I do the same. Microsoft is now the owner of LinkedIn? No wonder. Commenting is another form of interaction where just like in the real world, people either talk wisely or lazily based on their mood haha. We all have personal concerns everyday and it's impressive to see you guys blogging in different platforms inspite of...
> it's impressive to see you guys blogging in different platforms inspite of... Why is it impressive, and "in spite of ..." what?
Inspite of personal struggles and concerns everyday, people still manage to blog & vlog in different platforms. Ain't it something impressive and to celebrate about you & others too...
Okay, thank you. It demonstrates the spirit of life.
Beautiful life Unity 🌟
I'm much like you with regards to comments. I always reply to them. I often subscribe to those who comment, I will upvote there comments as well. Nice topic for the community :)
Replying to comments is often a challenge for those who get many comments. It is also dull to write the same "thank you" reply to all similar and appreciative comments. I wonder what you would reply to similar and repetitive comments.
That is a good point as well, shouldn't reply with the same exact comments. Some articles gain some lengthy comments, it's kind of a slap in the face when all they get back via a reply is a two word reply "thank you" Maybe that's more acceptable on Noise due to short post formats
That is why commenting requires knowledge, reading, reviewing, and writing skills. Even a diary of texts is different on different days, and so are the blogs and feedback.
