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.

It sure doo.
That’s good to hear. It’s always my honest thoughts, never just fluff.
They probably do!
"I would never say this to her face, but she's a wonderful person and a gifted artist."
I like this comic
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.
It's in our DNA, it's a survival instinct.
People would praise if they feel like they got their money's worth. The cost of services is so high that people getting good service feels like breaking even instead of losing out

Well, what even is a "positive experience"? "Getting exactly what you paid for"? The service being "mostly reliable"? Those are basically neutral.
Probably not those things then, huh?
– 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.
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!
Great comic. 7/5 with rice.
Leave the dead horses over there.
This! 👆
Great rebuttal. 10/10 would make lame reference again.
The flogged ones might need more flogging...
"When you do things right, people won't notice and it's like you have done nothing at all."
Futurama or something something quote likely not word-to-word correct.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all
Definitely Futurama quote most likely word-to-word correct
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.
Reminds me of Pizzacake. I never understood why people hate on her
