Bullshit comments provide nothing substantial because it doesn't answer the question: Why?

If someone puts up a great post that you like, there's either:

  1. "Wow, that was great. Have a nice day!" - Does not answer why and it does not give the author anything substantial to work with regardless of your intention. You've only confirmed how you perceived the content that you've been reading [This is - That was]

  2. "Because of these reasons and my perceptions of the content, I really enjoyed your work! Now you have a reason to have a nice day because I've explained why I enjoyed the content. I have also given you new and different perspectives that you can work with" - Answers why and gives the author new things to consider when creating new contents.
    [This is - That was - This can be - That has been]

Giving authors a reason why is especially important when you comment on posts you think are detrimental to the steemit platform. If you don't have the reasons yet, seek them out. These things should also be noted by those who hold contests as well. Give each person the reason why you liked or even disliked their entry (unless you have like 666 participants).

If you're not going to answer why you enjoyed the post you commented on, let me at least give you a grey area:

  1. "I don't know the reasons why I liked this, but I did and this is my intention for commenting. I like the concept of having a community with shared perspectives. Have a nice day that doesn't soak you wet!"

Quality follower = A follower who has been answering one or more why-questions. Take very good Care of these people. These are the people I personally Love because they've given me a reason to Love them. Those people know who they are :)

I don't claim to be perfect in this regard, but we all have a shared personal responsibility to make steemit and our world a better place. As the old saying goes "Do as I say, not as I do". Be it by our behaviors and content.
