He was authentically complimenting you btw, the one other person that bothered to comment on his post from all his spammy comments. It wasn't to try to win you over or anything to help his agenda, how could you not play along with his authentic niceness and his concerns over how intellectual and good content never gets any rewards on here while he posts about powering up steem which just has A+ content due to the rich curation and diversity of people!
Your posts only get unauthentic dick/pussysuckers because you write a lot bro, none of them actually read it or think the content isn't just long but rich and well thought out, they just want your upvotes in exchange for theirs bro, pff. You're stupid.
