Welcome back to Shitpost Your Way to Success, a reader-provoked satire series exclusively on Steemit

A ridiculously, satire-saturated, all-original Steemit-Exclusive series that was encouraged by my fellow Steemians. A special thanks to @jackmiller for the many wonderful chats that we've had which have greatly inspired this series. I want to also give special acknowledgment to @donald.porter for reading ahead of the class and commenting on the last lesson:

ALSO IN RECENT NEWS: THE SHITPOST TO SUCCESS SERIES NOW HAS A THEME TUNE!!! BIG THANKS TO @STEEVC!!

^{be sure to check out @steevc's blog and show him some love on his recent posts}

LESSON No.04 WILL BE A SPECIAL ONE...

HOW TO

EARN VOTES & AWARDS FOR SHIT-COMMENTING

That's right! You can really get votes for leaving total shit-comments that you copy/paste right into every Steemit post. If that sounds too good to be true - remember that I said votes and awards...

Leaving totally mindless comments will get you votes, but in the wrong direction most of the time

Now, I know what you're thinking; you are doing pretty well on Steemit, starting at rep 25 and going to 0, but I swear there's an easier way. Use your brain or at least prove you have one at the very least. That is how you attain votes on Steemit that will help you grow.

Leaving meaningful and relevant comments on posts is a great way to engage with fellow content creators on Steemit, but whatever you do don't vote on the crap you comment on because we would not want to waste that precious click before pasting our shitcomment in the box and mashing reply. I mean who has time to click a button these days? Pffffff

I feel that not enough shit commenters of Steemit get the real recognition they truly deserve

It is really hard work to paste a worthless comment 8,254 times per day, so let's recognize these users for their hard work! That's something we have yet to do, so, by all means, let's get this shit comment show on the road, shall we?

THIS CAMPAIGN STARTS WITH AWARENESS

WHY STOP THERE?

In hopes to discourage everyone from competing in the SHIT COMMENTER OF THE YEAR AWARDS, we must educate and lead by example. Let's also not forget to give those votes out where they are due! Those of you who have already decided to remain on the dark side and go for the gold in the Shit Commenter of 2018 Awards can rest assured that your efforts will be recognized. We hope to bring awareness with these simple nomination badges below.
