Is resteeming (reposting) a GOOD feature?

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Like it has always been, reposting and sharing others content has been a thing for a long time, a feature that allows others to help you spread your work/content and reach many other people.    

Often has the reason off reposting been to gain more likes and followers to build a greater influence on the platform. But is this the case anymore? Are we in need to reach for more people to follow you? In that case, is resteeming/reposting the way of gaining more followers?    Well here is a theory of mine.    Is it what content people are looking for on STEEM platforms that determines if you will gain followers or not? I would suppose so, but not in every case. I believe that people who like your stuff will give you some attention, but not much. I Believe that influence on STEEM platforms is much more about your SP rather then your number of followers. People tend to interact with people that have a high amount of SP in order to gain upvotes from these accounts. Sound greedy, but that is much what crytocurrency speculation is about. Earning money basically.   As I mentioned in my previous post, you can sometimes earn the same amount off SDB from 100 accounts as from 1 account. You can read all about this in my previous post about “building Influence” (right here).

I believe that people who like your stuff will give you some attention, but not much. Therefor I don’t think that resteeming will be as efficient, because I do not believe that all people on the platform are looking for great content all the time, but rather accounts with greater influence.

You might want to invest in STEEM and SP to become a more attractive to be followed by others, not always the case, but this is what I have experienced from my time here on the STEEM block-chain.

I'd agree with much of what you have to say. Particularly, people wanting to interact with people lots of SP. That does attract folks. I think taking the time to write decent conscientious comments go a long way so go down this route, myself. Maybe the poster you're replying to won't appreciate it that much / have the SP to give a good upvote, but someone else often will come along and give it a good upvote. Which is enough for me. :)

Regards resteeming, yes, I'd say it's important but not to get people to follow you. Again, I try to get followers by the effort I'm prepared to put in commenting on people's posts. So, I only use resteemable to do my resteems (well, mainly, anyway). And that's because I've got in the first upvote after the 30 min mark ideally. Maybe it's a little cynical but if others see the original post (resteemable has many more followers than I do), both myself and the original poster could get to benefit by further upvotes coming along.

Good luck with your blog. :)

Thank you for both agreeing and sharing your perspective on things @zool237

I do think that commenting is also a good way to gain followers and upvotes. As you are interacting with other peoples work, that they might appreciate.

Many good points about the resteeming benefits. I am not that good with the resteeming psycology, but I do listen to what you have to say. Yes everything is a bit cynical on STEEM I believe, but I think that it is good in some way.

Anyways @zoo237 thank you for sharing and caring, here is a little upvote, and I wish you good luck too on your STEEM journey!
