My candid advice:

Never leave the words, "please read" or "please follow" me back - as it implies, that's the only reason you read this article.

Therefore this article was simply random - and it gave absolutely nothing. In fact, it's easy to just NOT read an article and drop a comment as what you left.

I 100% would read anyone who engaged genuinely with my story and they do NOT ever have to ask. I am quite certain many feel that way too.

You are going to alienate yourself from writers if you leave this comment on multiple articles.
