When businesses read and subscribe
What to do drabble?
What do you do when you sign in and check how you did, and you notice in your notifications that there are businesses subscribed to you. I have a few and some even have been on since 2023 that even have a few articles posted. To be honest there were a few that did have some interesting articles, and I even left a comment sometimes. I no longer subscribe to them now though and skip right passed them on the list of notifications. Am I doing the right thing. I have deleted or reported when they left comments. Please comment.

What did I do wrong?
I do not know what I did wrong. I was reading and commenting on stories this morning, and now I signed in again and was going to comment, and there was a note saying 'you are unable to comment on this post due to a violation of the guidelines. Now, I admit I mentioned my new employment site, but the person wanted to know why I haven't been on Vocal for a while. I only did that maybe two times. So, it looks like I will not be a commentor for a while. Still able to read and write.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

It sounds like you've got a handle on what works for you. If you're not interested in those business subscriptions anymore, skipping them makes sense. But deleting or reporting comments seems a bit extreme. Maybe there's a better way to handle unwanted comments without being so harsh? What made you decide to take those actions?
I was just subscribed to today by a Tactical Citizens Armory... and I asked them to remove me.......
A well-wrought insight and question, Mark! D.K. Shepherd has an excellent series of posts questioning this very sort of traffic, and I think Vocal should take heed.
Everything is so crazy on vocal I have been very upset today about something too 🌻🌻
That's funny you write about this. I was just asking the same question about spam followers. Mine started today and I have already had three of them and no way to remove them.
