### I think you did a good work with this article. You always share great info
Nice Post thanks you for this attractive information @dragosroua

Many people are rushing to comment and do not even read the post. It is frustrating. I also do not like unrelated comments. If I had received this comment I would have told him to read carefully because the answer is in the post.

P.S: I voted for you as a witness :)

Copy and past...???

The sad side of free SBD and STEEM...

You do realise this post will get a lot of the same "spammy" comments? .... the irony :)))

I had read somewhere that the average attention span of an internet user is about 15 to 20 seconds. Just a little more than an gnat. Not sure what this says about the future of mankind...

I have to admit I'm often a violator of scanning and article and missing stuff, but if a post doesn't have hardly any replies, i don't feel bad about asking a dumb question just to provide the author a little feedback (-:

True. K.I.S.S.

I believe this stems from an issue with the steemit platform itself - visibility is crucial so being early on the stage is important. Often, this will lead to people making generic comments and not looking at the content. As such, typical comments on any post will just say 'Thanks'. There's nothing inherently wrong with this but it provides little to any discussion and is also made redundant because an upvote delivers the same message.

As the system matures further, I'm sure this will stop being an issue.

I see two, possibly unrealistic expectations.
One. They actually bother to read....I've had the exact thing happen many times.  The post I wrote EXPLICITLY answered the question they asked.  This caused me to wonder if they COULD read?  Perhaps they are chat-bots?

Two..attention span.  They ain't got none.   Television killed the art of conversation...social media drove nails in it's coffin.  I've noticed that many people can't focus longer than a soundbyte...

Oddly enough...at the moment I'm attempting to arrange a 'visit' with my son his family in a venue AWAY from electronic distractions (Tv and computer) so we can, like..ya know...VISIT!

I'm encountering resistance...

I so much agree with you as most comment steemians make are irrelevant to the post they are commenting on as they don't actually read the post but wants to earn from it.

Yeah I make honest mistakes most of the time. Especially in lingers posts or signatures at the end i may miss something because those I rarely read. 

I try to make my comments as least spammy as possible so maybe that helps if I make these mistakes?

I support you until the end  very nice post   @dragosroua

How Can I Mine Steem And What CPU / GPU Power Do I Need For That? :) Sorry!

To further your discussion there are a lot of steemians who upvote their own comments. So double whammy. Not only do some not read post they give themselves credit for not reading. Iol. (I can see even in this post there are some that upvote their own comments.)

Imagine now steemit has no initial fees to creating a steemit account and millions join. This type of spamming I fear will only get worse before it gets better. Apologies for the negative vibe, just being realistic here. Thanks.

I feel like this is a problem for social media in general. Hell, for the whole internet. It will probably get much worse as the platform grows. The community will probably find some way to suppress it through flagging and what not, but it's too deeply rooted for it to ever go away.

Thanks for the screenshot..👍

I do not know whether you will agree with me but one reason for comments being not quality is due to lack of knowledge on that field.Im also a new comer to this field and Im trying harder here to learn the things here.People like me learn things by reading your posts as they do not have any other way to learn the things.So on the way of their learning there comments wouldn't be that fruitful.But they are learning from these posts.So I think it is not always good to judge them by their comments.And that is my opinion about this
-cheers-

That's right, some people make useless comments just for visibility. I like constructive comments that bring something new, that generates discussion. I wish you a wonderful and successful day in your work!

Thanks for sharing this. I am new to STEEMIT and I have this hope that people will go deep with the writing, but I can and do see how people are trying to hack it or just squeeeeeeze content out that seems a little empty. Good thing that emptiness seems to fall to the wayside.

This thing is happening everywhere on steemit !
Every newbie  is following this thing to get votes , but its ok and we should help them so that they can moderate their learnings !

Great sir.Go ahead

I appreciate good articles.Keep it up..

I don't know whether i should laugh on it or not but it is very sadden to see that people even don't bother to read the whole article often and put counter question out of blue/ irrelevant to topic. This is bad at our end #steemians. Please! understand money is not everything but the information and knowledge does matter a lot. 

I am 100% in your favor in this context @dragosroua

"average attention span" is pretty meaningless. It's very much task-dependent. How much attention we apply to a task will vary depending on what the task demand is ... the idea that there's a typical length of time for which people can pay attention to even that one task has also been debunked.

I do agree that some people here on steemit pay less attention to the post and focus more on what they can earn rather than learn. They tries to maximize their time on each post, sometimes speed reading it to the point of only reading the title. haha

Lol at some of the other comments here. Yeah there are varying degrees of attention-spans here, I usually don't get too upset unless its someone that is copy/pasting the same comment on every post they see. "Good post, go vote and resteem my post please" 100 times is just ridiculous...

Lol....Good post. Thankfully, this is a rare instance. 

I can only wonder what would happen if we had a down-vote for comments. Nah, totally bad idea, as this would only encourage behaviors as such sparked in the recent e-o-y-flagging wars...lol..smh...

Peace.

>Probably, the prospect of making some quick bucks with this token is overtaking the more balanced approach to just look at the links and try to understand how this thing work, before even engaging in it.

This. It differentiates steemit from other social media platforms in a good way but at the same time can completely destroy this platform.

i agree with what you have said here sir..we should take some measures to maintain the quality of this community..even though we have the flag system we don't bother to use it..but i think we should use it at least on needy times to prevent this sort of spammers :)

steemit has been the first site i open in the mornin over twitter and email, that speaks volumes itself.

Alerting stuff, yeah!!

Many Steemians are natural spammers rushing around and posting quick and silly comments just to maybe get some cents from curation, don't read almost anything from post. Bots looks to be sometimes smarter than people in commenting. 
Same is with upvoting. It's easier to upvote yourself then write a good article other will upvote. The harder way to reach your goal to get some value (Steem, SBD) here, is not popular on this platform at all.
I take the harder way and still collect some value. I did not power up from other sources and I'm currently at around $170 USD value of my account and I my thankful to some Steemians @mys, @knircky and others to see value in my work and support me.
I also declare in blog [Upvote Myself no More](https://steemit.com/steemit/@tombort/uvote-myself-no-more) that I will never ever upvote myself  and start campaign For Better Steemit  [#1](https://steemit.com/steemit/@tombort/for-better-steemit-wealth-is-worthless-with-out-us-1), [#2](https://steemit.com/steemit/@tombort/for-better-steemit-i-already-feel-like-don-chisciotte-2) which have at this moment 0% support but I think that must be someone to speak about nobility here also.

I appreciate good articles, dealing with so many who do not take the time to learn or get educated on all that this platform has to offer besides a fast buck gets trying to say the least.
