Copy/paste comments fb

serenity2012

Gotta ask before i explode because I must be missing something blatantly obvious. more and more on a lot of fb comment comps i see people writing the exact same comment as though copy pasted even if not the answer wanted for the question. There are a couple that haven't here but most have. Is there some facebook comp winning trick i don't know about? A good example is this one where almost all are obvious copy pastes. Comp asks for you to comment on a gadget you can't live without and apparently they all can't live without the same thing. This is going on a lot where is see a line of identical long worded comments word for word. Wouldnt it be obvious to comp runners these are just copy pasted? Just one example below but there are hundreds of comps where people are writing and copying the exact same thing. Should i be too??

I cannot see any T&C's for that one but often they are random draws so no point in spending more time than necessary on a comment and copy and paste is quick.

But its not the answer to the question. Which was what gadget people couldn't live without. Many others are like that. I can see copy/pasting a correct answer to a question because there is only one right answer. But a lot of these are just copy pasting what someone else says even if there isn't a question. Just thought it was weird thats all and wondered why.

Thanks hun

On that one maybe they thought it was clever to say the gadget they couldn't live without was the one being offered as a prize?

I've seen a couple lately where some of the people commenting had copy and pasted the wrong answer. Over and over again. On one of them the answer they were giving wasn't even an option!

Probably because there are lots of lazy people out there who cannot be bothered to read the post correctly and just copy the above comment.

Another example is the Next comp on a Friday which if in the post it says it is closing at 4pm on a Friday, have a read how many comments appear over the weekend and even on a Monday after they have announced the winner.

Its just pure lazy comping, they dont even proof read the comment as often theres a smiley face in the comment and when they copy and paste it just comes out as text, telltale sign of a lazy comper :mad: theyre just in it for comping numbers, copy, paste, onto the next comp.
Must be annoying for the original person who posted their comment

I some times the copy the answer but always add something of my own although recently I entered the one where you have to tell the square the bird is in and I just guessed as I thought it was a guess one and not an actual find him lol and others coped my answer which was obviously wrong

I see what you mean. On the Asda comp https://www.facebook.com/Asda/photos/a.146130242125055.37218.141700922567987/924135807657824/?type=1

On the first 50 comments (I do not have the time or inclination to ready any more), 7 people have written exactly the same:

A, the Duck Egg Rugby Stripes is my favourite and as I'm about to redecorate my bedroom would love to win the £50 to spend at Asda George Home range.
