I am in the wrestling business you actively get frowned upon if you ever come across as a fanboy. I met one of my favorite wrestlers ever and kept it to a hand shake and some business talk.

In the early 2000s working for a major telecommunications company we were told that it took 10 positive experiences to hear back from someone (who was happy with what you did,) but for negative experiences, it averaged less than 3.

I don't know if that's a universal rule or what but I always operate on the assumption that people love to bitch more than they love to praise.

Reminds me of Pizzacake. I never understood why people hate on her

"I would never say this to her face, but she's a wonderful person and a gifted artist."

Especially in the fediverse where it’s a little quiet sometimes I try to leave comments on posts from artists I like or to at least upvote them.

I hope my little compliments make someone’s day and encourage them.

Reddit in a nutshell..."please PLEASE down vote me for a contrary opinion" etc

I like this comic

– So tell them.

I would, unfortunately there's no way for me to compliment them without selling my soul to facebook.

also, telling others about the art is probably more impactful.

Great comic. 7/5 with rice.

Really shows you how far we've come, though! Just 15 years ago, he'd be screaming that he's had a few nights with the artist's mum regularly and then call the artist the n-word!

I like you.
