When you guys go into other peoples comments 10x for the AAA challenge, what kind of things do you say to them? This has always been the hardest thing for me, chatting up strangers about their content, I know you’re supposed to be honest and complimentary but I don’t really care for most people’s content on instagram, and if you’re not gonna say anything nice, don’t say anything is something to live by, so i really get confused on this.
Hey!
I think the bit is that people are inherently selfish, if you don’t care about what they’re doing, they’re not as likely to care about what you’re doing.
Maybe its a case of searching more to find people that you have more of a connection with 
What sort of things are you engaging with at the moment?

so mostly I’m going to people who have liked other band’s content that are in my niche’s profiles and looking at their content. and it’s all selfies, or pictures of cats. Sometimes it’s art, and I can work with art. Sometimes it’s fashion. I don’t get fashion and I feel weird commenting on it.
Yeah I get you - but who doesn’t love a picture of a cat haha!
I think it comes down to putting in more time to find people who are more in line with your connection points, it takes time and you don’t need to comment on someone’s profile just because they liked a similar band to you 
You could also search for your interests outside of music too, as those people may also be interested 
What is there besides music? lol jk, but if those people aren’t interested in music, or are into drill rap and only drill rap, etc, wouldn’t that mess up my engagement?
If you’re going through people who have liked other artists that are similar, then there’s a good chance they would like your music right? 
There’s always going to be some people that aren’t 100% perfect and that’s OK too!
Haha I know I was just trying to be funny. I should probably stop doing that in forums, because it never comes across that way. Thanks for your help dude, the answer was just put more time and effort in which is always the answer we need but never the one we want to hear.
