Hi everyone! Second post here
While I’m deciding whether I have the time to write a full guide on the “perfect spintax comment” I mentioned in my first post, I decided to provide a starting point for other newer members. I had only mentioned this a few times and some people asked me to elaborate, so here goes.
The point of this comment I created was to have a single spintax set that could generate a variety of different comments. The reason why this is important IMHO is because having multiple comments for the same set of keywords doesn’t provide a truly random distribution and doesn’t allow you to set probabilities. Also, geo-targeted commenting only allows for one comment, but by making the “perfect comment,” you’ll be able to have many in the place of one. Moving on to the simple example:
{|{{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}|:heart_eyes:|:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:|:exclamation:|:open_mouth:|:gem:|:slight_smile:|:bangbang:|:clap:{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}}|{{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}|:heart_eyes:|:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:|:exclamation:|:open_mouth:|:gem:|:slight_smile:|:bangbang:|:clap:{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}}}} {|{||{{Hi|Hey|Hiya}{{!||{!|.}}| @[USERNAME]{!||.}| [FIRSTNAME]{!||.}}}|{{@[USERNAME]| [FIRSTNAME]}{!||.}}}} {{G|G|G|g}reat|{C|c}ool|{S|s}uperb}{{{!||.}| {{{p|{p|{P|p}}}ost|{m|{m|{M|m}}}aterial|{p|{p|{P|p}}}ic}{!||.}}}| {{{p|{p|{P|p}}}ost|{m|{m|{M|m}}}aterial|{p|{p|{P|p}}}ic}{!||.}}} {|{{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}|:heart_eyes:|:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:|:exclamation:|:open_mouth:|:gem:|:slight_smile:|:bangbang:|:clap:{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}}}{||{{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}|:heart_eyes:|:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:|:exclamation:|:open_mouth:|:gem:|:slight_smile:|:bangbang:|:clap:{|🏾|🏻|🏽|🏼|🏿}}}
Let’s break this down to see what each part does:

Hope this gives a decent general idea for my favorite type of nested spintax comments. By going more in-depth, you can have one spintax set that can generate many different types of comments. You can do this by either having various comments divided into sections (e.g. {comment1|comment2|etc}) or by having many different “modules” (or bits of text) that have select probabilities of appearing (my preferred method; a bit more complex but leads to many more realistic variations). My using the second method, I created a single post that can generate many different types of posts that has a total of roughly 1.0284693741465354e+37, or ten undecillion, two hundred eighty-four decillion, six hundred ninety-three nonillion, seven hundred forty-one octillion, four hundred sixty-five septillion, three hundred fifty-four sextillion variations!
Using deeply nested syntax also allows you to have multiple comments when using the geo-targeted comments tool.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: I’ve used up all of my replies (new user perks lol), so I’m just going to do that right here for five more hours :

@krafteg Thanks I really appreciate it. If you (or anyone) would like some help, suggestions, or just a second glance over a spintax set, feel free to reach out. While I don’t really have a reason to steal, I’m sure I can help with a redacted or simplified version in case anyone is wary of trusting newcomers. Have a nice one!

@euhero Thanks I may write a more extensive guide on the subject soon, but I feel this can help get people’s toes wet into using nested syntax. It’s amazing the variety of comments you can get (esp. when using modulated sections instead of separated comments) and I feel everyone should take the time to make a very good one. The results I’ve seen from geo-targeted comments have been amazing using a rather large nested spintax set!

@mommyfats Thanks a bunch . While I was figuring all of this out, I noticed that too many people far underestimate the ability of spintax. I also noticed that no one was really using modular spintax (and were instead opting for {comment1 {minor variations}|comment2 {minor variations}|etc}).
