The beautiful part of engagement most top SP account owners don't know is that rewarding the engagement efforts made by your followers or contents consumers makes them stay glued to your timeline.

At least if you don't give them constant upvotes on their posts, then appreciating the efforts they make in reading and commenting on your posts. Nobody wants to go or remain where they are not appreciated.

When comments are not appreciated or responded to, it breeds ground for reduction of engagement

It's not what the system is pushing us to do, it's what the system was originally designed to do, and nobody around here working on the core has half a brain to take it any further.

To tell you the truth, I think we have already broken this point with the last HF.
It was good in some cases but it also kills the engagement. The very same people is upvoted automatically and constantly and the content discovery is really low...or, perhaps this is only what I felt myself after being around since June 2017.

if we think join to steem just an effort to pAy our post, it is tottaly right.
if we just want to get money with Steem you are right again
but if we just enjoy this plaform as other social media, make a post as we do in facbook, twitter and reward become an other bonus we will.find excitements.
rewardwas we hope but it not just one and only..
and i feel with last HF we lost many good engagement.

It's like you have to buy a diamond engagement ring to get engaged. You always end up paying somehow!

ammonite (67) · 5 years ago (edited)

Do they mean the engage token? Since hf21 most upvoted on comments become worthless especially from smaller accounts like mine, so engagement has dropped a bit. It seems that Engage is trying to tackle this issue.

afril (69) · 5 years ago

Are you aware, the token comes out when the price of the steem collapses.
Suppose the token came out while the price of steam was still above the cloud, I don't think its appearance would be phenomenal.
I have several types of tokens, almost all of them are useless.

Hablando con honestidad, creo que todos estamos comprometidos en steem por las recompensas. Tratamos de hacer lo mejor que podemos para conseguir una mejor recompensa.

Honestly speaking, I think we are all engaged in steem for rewards. We try to do the best we can to get a better reward.

Yes the reward system drives engagement, but the Steem whale circle jerk clan thinks anyone with engagement buys it.

sm-silva (54) · 5 years ago

Hahaha, this is funny... As you said that are the way the system are designed to work. I always asked myself: "why does everyone just vote for large texts that no one reads and don't vote for comments?".

It gives people a reason to post, but that is kind of the lure of Steem to begin with. The ability to get a small amount of crypto by engaging with the blockchain. It's definitely not all balloons and ponies. It's kind of like radio stations giving away free money to their listeners

geekgirl (72) · 5 years ago

If buying genuine engagement is a thing, I would like to see more of that. Vast majority of social media users are content consumers and not content creators. Rewarding content consumers and encouraging engagement is the key for success.

freddio (61) · 5 years ago

true,

I also thought that you can reward your followers is the original idea of steem, because time is limited and not everyone can see everything.

I also think that the thought is not stupid.

In the future, everything will be in competition with everything. Simply because the time is limited. Do you watch a film or do you play a computer game? The time is then used up and gone

It's way better than getting attention just by shilling steem and telling lies every day on every post, golddiggers

kingscrown (81) · 5 years ago

when others do reward contests then dont buy engagement because they make most people get nothing and 90% times their friends win, but when you do those daily posts upvoting everyone (so a contest with 100% winners) you are.

see the difference?

Didn't the concept of decentralised mean also the freedom to do whatever you wanted to. Instead not only this blog is full of boring and pendantic crypto delusions but apparently those people are also in charge of what is considered content.

Uh, isn't that the whole point of Steem and the reward system?

I dont think its the point of the reward system is it?

But I do notice that those who take the time to reply and vote comments do encourage more engagement on their posts.

I was thinking that point of of the reward system was to give people an opportunity to accumulate a cryptocurrency with a view of creating a widely accepted decentralize means of exchange. Or is that just me being naive again?

So you're playing dumb? Do you want to see if there are enough others who are playing dumb? Of course you know engagement can't be bought. You can pretend, but nobody believes it anyway because nobody buys it. What you see on your blog is not engagement. Insofar as you don't expect intelligent answers to your questions, the engagement is less than a joke. Of course, you can still say that it can be bought, by someone who can pay you.

But this person would not get your commitment, but a kind of bored cynicism. Or artificially generated excitement. Take your pick. The supposedly smart statement "You give me money, I do shit for you", does not even represent the precursor of engagement. Rather, it reflects an attitude that provides the basis for non-engagement. Those who chum up to you and make it look like an engagement are playing dumb and want to be paid by you for their non-engagement. My conclusion is this: "You buy non-engagement and what you consequently get is non-engagement." Is that something you want?

Or what do you mean anyway by "engagement"?

Anyone that makes that comment on your post either is clueless or brainless.

Why do the top accounts get the most engagement? Because they create such awesome content. If that was they case they would go somewhere else and make a lot more money. Its because top SP accounts give out the most rewards and when you dont or cant get noticed organically youre hoping for a witty comment to get the author to check out your comment and either follow you for future upvotes or upvote some of your content.

Sorry I edited it, I didn't mean they're clueless for commenting on your post.

They're clueless for making said comment on your post.

My point was people comment on your post because you have a lot of SteemPower and people know that you use said Steem Power to upvote comments which is what drives engagements to your posts.

Anyone that makes "that" comment on your post either is clueless or brainless.

I left off the extra that. LOL. My bad, after I reread what I posted I edited it because I realized what I said was not what I was trying to say.

Yes it is. You not only buy engagement but Steemians too to join your contest and if you pay them they want you to beg and remind them too 🤨

One day it pays back and engagement is a habit even on Steem.

Happy day 💕
