It's not always easy to do, but at this point in my steem life, I try my best to reply to every single person that comments or engages my post/videos. I know not everyone does this, but I do appreciate those that make a concerted effort to do so. We're all busy, we all have lives, families, things to do, things to get done, but I believe replying does a lot to hep the community grow. Communication in life isn't just one way, it's two way and I believe as steemians, we have a responsibility to those who are trying to reach out to us to at least do our best to respond. Again, I understand that some are getting massive comments on their post/videos - much more than I am. And it's probably near impossible to reply to 100 comments every time you make a post. But I think it's important to at least give a sincere effort to do so. That's what makes this platform different than others. Here, we're not just out for the views or the likes/upvotes - we're here for community. And community matters.
I just discovered the reply button a few days ago! It's brilliant! LOL - I used to go through all my post one by one to try and make sure I was replying to everyone. Now I just click the "replies" button and boom - I have instant access to my steemit/dtube family!
Here are some benefits I believe replying has to the entire community:
- It creates engagement
- Let's your readers/viewers know that you're listening to them
- It connects you with others
- You can learn so many new things!
- You get the benefit of feedback
That's it for me in this video :) let me know what you guys think in the comments below!

You are right. Reply plays a greater role like upvotes do. If you upvote my post or comment and aslo reply on it, it makes a difference. Atleast i will come to know what u feel about my opinion or to what extent u agree with me.
So keep upvoting as well as replying

Replying is great advice but as a new Steemian (me) how do I go about getting comments in the first place? I'm starting to believe bribery is required hehe.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Well my advise is the following: Ask yourself "Why does one comment in the first place on steemit?" and then react according to that.
People on steemit comment to:
1.) Make money from their comment's upvotes (so they comment on whale's videos where there are people to vote their comment)
OR
2.) Answer a question you asked.
OR
3.) Ask you a question when they think you can teach them something.
OR
4.) To form relationships on the platform.
OR
5.) To troll
Ideas:
Well you don't want 5.).
Also Number 1.) seems not possible for a minnow except you attract them on the money thing maybe by buying a few Steem/SBD and making a contest/challenge. This WILL get you replies on the content video, but also many will start commenting your other videos and subscribe because they don't want to miss your contests.
2.) Is the first you should try. Ask people things, but not ONLY in the video like "What Altcoints do you prefer and why?, please tell me in te comments", make a whole video out of it with the question bein in the title and thumbnail already, so people even click your video to comment in the first place. So instead of making a video "My favorite Altcoins" and asking people within the Video, make a Video What are your favorite Altcoins an tell the in the Video which ones are yours.
3.) Simply be good on your topic, show people you are professional and experienced (present facts) on your topic.
4.)Is something everyone wants, and the most powerful point. So if you did 1.) 2.) or 3.) always reply AND upvote to comments as much as you can. Try to save upvote power to reward comments. Nothing will bring you more comments and bring you back the people who once commented, than actually showing and rewarding people for doing the work to write real comments. No matter how small the reward and your SP is, as long as it is not 0. If I get rewarded i feel like it mattered to you and it is worth to comment again.

Hey there! hahaha! You know a lot of people resort to bribery. I see a lot of people sending whales and such steem or SBD's to get replies, but honestly - I don't see it working. You can start by doing what you just did! By commenting on post that you enjoy :) then you can engage as well as creating your own post. You're on the right track!
Because you're on the right track and asked a great question - you get my upvote!

I'm interested also and watching this video that you think you might make. Is there a way for me to be notified when you have a new video coming out as in pressing the Bell on a YouTube video when you have subscribed? So far I haven't been able to identify a feature like that on steemit other than subscribing and my subscription of new posts is confusing to say the least smiles and question marks

If you‘re on Discord you can use GINAbot. I‘m also using it and it‘s great as you can customize every kind of notification that you wish to receive. Or if you‘re an Android user there‘s an app called steemify. Can‘t tell you much about it as I don‘t use Android.

Two things seem worthwhile to comment on, 1 being how useful it is to know about the replies and comment buttons, and 2 is the statement you made about this being a decentralized platform and that our Communications on it are peer-to-peer. Now that is interesting to me in a way that I hadn't thought of before, that we are not being monitored by a central Authority, and that our Communications are between individuals. We are forming connections on a much more intimate individual basis on the steemit platform. At the same time I find myself thinking that the platform has its own monitoring system that trains and shapes the kind of posting and attention that is successful as a media livelihood. This has both positive and negative aspects, and as with many things in life the good and the bad are mixed up together and cannot always be separated. Thank you for the thought-provoking commentaries you've been posting.

Fantastic share on this video. I've been on Steemit for a while but didn't really take it seriously until now. And happily I found Dtube by following people on Steemit. Video and Live Streaming has been my 2 fave ways of communication on Social Media. I've recently started my D-tube Vlog and still finding my voice for this platform.
I have subscribed to you and will be watching your other videos too.
