Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | An UPVOTE or COMMENT?

in hive-153970 •  4 days ago 

Mari kita mengingat hal yang mendasar terlebih dahulu, tentang Steemit yang wujud aslinya adalah media sosial, digunakan untuk menambah saldo rekening, ya tujuannya pasti begitu, tidak ada yang menulis untuk hanya sekedar ingin menulis bukan? Bila Anda menyangkal, sampaikan dengan masuk akal alasan Anda menulis di ruang ketik hijau ini?

Upvote adalah bonus yang mengundang senyuman, terlebih bila ia menjelma dalam nama lain seperti Kurasi atau Booming. Dengan satu kali klik, nilai postingan berubah seketika. Lalu yang harus dipikirkan adalah bagaimana membuat tulisan yang menarik, memilih foto yang bagus dan mengatur perletakannya. Memang perlu usaha lebih.

Ironinya bila terkait komentar, banyak yang merasa enggan untuk membuat seperti apa yang mereka buat dalam postingan, bukan soal panjangnya komentar, namun bagaimana kerelaan mencurahkan pikiran dalam menanggapi dan berinteraksi, mengapa? Tidak mendapat bonus?

Jadi mengapa saya suka berkomentar? Ini bukan hanya tentang imbal balik yang didapatkan berupa nominal, akan tetapi apa yang saya rasakan adalah tentang terbantunya saya dengan beberapa saran yang diselipkan oleh komentator-komentator yang baik, yang membuat diri saya tahu dan belajar hal baru. Penting juga untuk mengembangkan diri bukan?

Mungkin masih banyak yang menganggap berkomentar adalah aksi yang sia-sia atau tidak terlalu menguntungkan, ada kalanya saya pun berpikir begitu. Komentar memang tidak bisa berdiri sendiri, dan akan sangat bagus bila dikombinasikan dengan upvote, ini adalah sebuah kesatuan yang sebaiknya mulai dibiasakan, agar Steemit semakin berisik dan asik.

Sudah saatnya menghilangkan kepasifan, non aktifkan mode silent mu, dan mulailah berceloteh, mari saling menanggapi dan berbagi.

I just assume that comments bring a special kind of gratification. Votes are great and I wish everybody could get to live independently out of their artistic contribute to society, but, unfortunately, we have to face the reality that life doesn't work that way.
I don't feel that choosing between votes and comments is relevant, as they represent different things. What I feel is votes increase your visibility, comments increase the joy you take out of your work.
If I have to choose, I rather have comments.
(Unless, of course, votes make me filthy rich. Then, I want votes. lmfao). :D))))))))))

No, they do not represent different things. You read, next you comment and if you like what you read you show that by giving an upvote. What will happen if the SCs stop? That is how Steemit started without SCs and people did grow.
It is like @fajrulrifst says: this is social media, can be built to "hide" the investors or make it look better but it is replacement for social media back then Facebook and so on. The idea was that we would help another growing. Everyone has free voting, everyone could use it, but the average Steemian doesn't. Any idea how many upvotes could circulate if everyone was aware of what the effect is? Why it is important to talk to others, connect and build bonds?

I think you know me by now. I do read a lot and always comment. Also, I may read and not vote, if I'm suspicious that I'm not reading the work of a real person, but I'll comment on that, and If I read something that I utterly dislike, I only comment if I feel the discution will be fruitful. So, You can count on me to go around and vote and comment. As for what I can do to stimulate others to do it, it only works if they are interested in taking part in the conversation. Sometimes, it's like talking to a brick wall.
Anyway, you are totally right about the importance of building bonds and I'm pretty sure you know a lot more than me about steemit's economics, but I haven't gotten to that part yet. For now, I'm mostly worried about getting myself into the group and learning about the people. The economics will come later, I'm sure. For now, I just follow the lead of a couple of persons I've learned to trust. You included.
In any case, I felt a lot more movement around here this week than the last. Let's see if it keeps up that tendency.
Have faith. If you get good people, things will grow naturally.

Ngomong-ngomong, sudah lama juga ya tidak berbalas komentar dengan Anda @aneukpineung78, bagaimana kabarnya? Saya sih agak sedikit flu.

kabar lumayan baik,,, semoga lekas sembuh,, ini lagi musim hujan memang rentan sakit flu dan sejenisnya ,,, jarang berbalas komentar mungkin karena saya juga tidak sering mengomentari jadi orang juga ngga tahu mau membalas gimana, yang padahal sesungguhnya membalas itu kadang tidak baik juga, lebh baik kita biarkan karma yang membalasnya. Eh, gimana, sih? 🙄

Mungkin ada kalanya begitu, biarkan saja karma yang membalas, agar mereka sadar akan kerasnya hidup, dan menyudahi semua drama yang dibuatnya.
Ngopi dimana malam ni bang?

If you are sick you stay home in bed, no coffee!

How about being addicted to Steemit? I believe this plays a role as well. Many of their first act if they open their eyes is to check their notifications. Not the wallet but if someone left a message behind.

The notification is indeed a signal that provokes us to look further, curiosity with a little twinge often adorns, because of addiction? or maybe because of hope? it seems to be waiting for the curator to stop by and give a gift.

We have to admit that upvotes are the main attraction, here the role of comments is as a bridge to reach it, Engagement is an old word that has not been fully realized, so it is replaced with Learning, which I think even fades interaction. Although on the one hand I am also grateful that I don't see many fake comments in Steemit Challenges anymore.
