After a Story Is Published, No Author Wants to See Comments Like These

I’m talking about comments that may make you appear like a spammer.

Here they are:

🤦Great article
😛 Great story
🐶 Well written
😁 Spot on
😄 Great words
😴 I like it
😬 I like this article

When a writer reads these kinds of comments on his post, he feels as if you’re giving him/her a certificate 🤦.

And as if you just engage with his/her post for the only purpose of getting followers.

What writers want is for someone to tell them why what they wrote is "excellent” or why you disagree with their thoughts.

🤝 Make an effort, guys, and leave 2 to 3 sentences as a comment.

I guarantee that if you add something after, your feedback will help them:

  • Improve their writing, and
  • be able to publish relevant articles, in the future.
