prompter: Here is a problem I run into with modern social media: Whenever there is a post I really want to comment on, because I think I have something valuable to add, it is already filled with thousands of comments and I know the odds of my comments getting any traction are slim.
Can you come up with a solution to this problem?

assistant: One solution to this issue is to engage with smaller or niche online communities where the competition for attention is lower and your insights are more likely to be seen and appreciated. Another option is to reach out to the original poster directly, through private messaging or email, and share your thoughts with them that way. Additionally, you could create your own content around the topic you are passionate about and build a following around it. This way, you have a platform to share your thoughts and engage with like-minded individuals.

prompter: What if I boost my own comment by buying artificial likes or upvotes. Is that not more effective?

prompter: One solution to the problem of not having your comments noticed on a heavily-commented social media post could be to look for alternative social media platforms with smaller user bases. This can increase the chances of your comments being seen and receiving engagement.

Another option is to be strategic about when you post your comments. Consider commenting on popular posts during off-peak hours when there may be less competition for attention. You can also try to craft thoughtful, insightful comments that stand out from the crowd and encourage others to engage with your thoughts.

Finally, consider starting your own discussion threads or groups centered around topics that interest you. This way, you can have more control over the conversation and be more likely to have your ideas heard.

assistant: One solution to this problem could be to participate in smaller, more focused online communities related to the topic you're interested in. These communities could be less populated and offer more opportunities for meaningful engagement and discussion. Additionally, you could try reaching out to the author of the post directly through private message or email, and engage in a more personal conversation with them.

Another option could be to start your own discussion on a related topic and encourage others to join in. This could be done through starting a blog, creating a social media post, or participating in forums.

You could also try to find alternative platforms that prioritize meaningful engagement and discussion over the sheer volume of content, such as niche discussion boards or community-driven Q&A sites.

Ultimately, the key to solving this problem is finding ways to participate in online discussions that prioritize quality over quantity, and provide opportunities for deeper, more meaningful engagement.

prompter: I am worried that if I enter a more focused online community, I can't get more global attention.

prompter: I prefer some lower-effort methods as I don't have time to make a blog. As such, can you please give me some lower-effort methods?

prompter: Is there something I could do about my posts to make them stand out more? Assuming it's pure text without any formatting or images, what could make my comments more likely to get picked up?

prompter: Good points. However, if i reached out to the author directly they are most likely to busy to replay as the post gets thousand of commends and the author probably gets hundreds of emails daily. How can I formulate the email in a manner that they are likely to replay to?

assistant: This is a common problem and there is not a single solution to how to overcome it. However, you can do your best to gain success as a trusted and appreciated commentator and in this way gain more traction to yourself.

- Keep the quality of your comments high. Do not comment, if you can't bring "something valuable to the table."
- Behave with good manners. Respect opinions that are against your visions and knowledge and remember that it is always possible that you are wrong.
- Stay active. It may take significant time to gain success and to get notified, but the only way to achieve it is to stay active and remember two previous hints too.

You also may consider starting a blog or Youtube channel where you talk about the same type of issues and this way gain more attention. However, in this context, you also need to obey the same manners and rules as mentioned before.

prompter: But how do I know that my comments are high quality and what would be of value to others? Can you please give me some ideas how to write high quality comments and how to better engage with other commentors?

prompter: I see humorous and unoriginal comments get a lot more traction than high quality, well-thought out comments. Help me understand how this phenomenon occurs.

assistant: The solution to this problem is of yours is simple, if your comment really has something of value then comment it anyways, it doesn't really matter if it gets a lot of attraction or not, because there might still be a person who gonna see this comment and learn something from it.
