I thank those of you who are bothered,
To like the stuff that I write.
But I doubt now the legitimacy, of all but a few.
Seriously, if you don't "like" the things that I write,
Don't follow me, I wouldn't follow you.

So this is my 600th post. I don't know what to say. You all write such wonderful things, it takes my breath away. So this is my 600th post. Thank you for listening to me.
I'm not going to lie .. I'm not a great writer. I can't write a poem for crap. I hate poems .. But I still stay on this site because all of you are oh so nice.
Facebook is where I hide my true thoughts from 'friends'. Twitter is where I act like an idiot and try to be funny. Instagram is where I find lovey-dovey things to like and post.
Woke in the night, I couldn't breathe Horrible thoughts that just wouldn't leave Is it worth being upset by mistrust.
100th post. ^ And I got some random squiggly thing up there in the title. Wooo. Yeah. Wooo.
One hundred. The big one. Yup, I've finally got there. It was mentioned optimistically, Now look at me right up there. Never, Had I thought, I'd ever be able to write so much.
Er...I'm no good at making speeches and stuff...but um...I just wanted to say...thanks. Thanks to everyone who has 'liked' my Opuss 'Beauty?' it was an entry for a competition. I didn't win.
Does anybody read these. 'Like' or comment if you do. I really think it's annoying when somebody mentions something so you feel sorry or they sway you to do what they want with out saying it.
It's one of those things that always bothers me. You normally see the same names responding to everything. Why is that? I hope you know how good your posts are. From a dedicated follower π
It's difficult to keep up sometimes.Most days I can only spare a hour or two and to be honest, although I follow quite a few, I don't 'like' all their work. Sometimes I see posts that are obviously totally naff but they still get a ton of likes - bit too clicky for me.
@bryanrobertheap with mine it depends on what I write to whom I see comment. For example some people will only comment on a poem, others a story. But I agree. Always the same names. I think put of 130+ followers I only ever see around 20 comment or like
I think it's the same for most of us; I have 119 followers, most of my stuff has 10 or so likes. But I don't want people to click like for the sake of it or just because they are a follower. I'd rather have a few legit likes tbh. I like you're stuff regularly, even if I don't always comment. If I don't like it, I don't click it. Don't take it personally, might be that it just doesn't float my boat. But you know everything I do like us genuine π
Same man! Over 700+ followers (i'd say approx 80% are not active) I follow 200 (probably only about 50-70 active and decent), most likes I had was about 40 on 1 recent post. Anyways, your a bad ass mother fucker of a writer and it's always impressive, intelligent and thought provoking. π
I like what I like and comment on what compelled me to, the general stuff that gets comments involve zombies, witches and all manner of sci fi/historical/mythological goodness. (not that that is a request or anything π) I just feel as though I'm imposing on people if I comment too often -_- x
I'm with@Irrational_Kimmi on this....and I for one am def not going anywhere...I bloody love your stuff your posts are genius :):)xx
You're one of the originators and standard-setters here. You're a compelling and skilled writer and I admire your fearless approach to speaking your mind. So like your posts ... yes I do. Follow? Definitely.
I follow 32, I don't always check my feed, but then when I have time I decide what to read, if I have a weirdwolf night or smellyfingers day, I click on the name and check the poems, so my likes come late, I know, but o also do repost, and most of the time I check everything in everything, so there could be interesting new writers...:) am I strange?:O
And yes, I also have 300+ followers, but for what? In my golden times I got maybe a bit over 30 likes, now... Not even 10...
I could write a book on this topic but will just say that there's many usage models of this app and there's no one answer to what you describe. Some have lapsed, some are shy, some may not like it and some just don't have the time.
Here's a little tip for a bit more insight into your work: did you know that every opuss has a share page? You can find it by the share icon when you tap into the story. Either tweet or email any opuss and you'll see it. If you follow that link to the web page you can see how many views an opuss has had.
I only like the stuff anyone likes if I think it's superb but some pieces of writing are not to my Tatse
