What is important for me, who loves writing dan sharing stories, is that I'm being read. Getting voted or upvoted is a bonus. The problem with Steemit is that it is hard to know if we are being read or not unless we are voted. Voting can exaust your voting power especially for newbie like me. In the beginning I give votes to postings I read, especially short-short stories/flash fictions and in the end I ended up with zero bandwith, and you cannot do anything after that other than read. You can't post, you can't reply, you can't edit, you can't update.
Is there any other way to give people encouragement to continue writing? I think the only way is to leave a reply, it doesn't have to be long (if you have nothing much to say) - just a word or two as a sign that you have read - maybe just something like 'I've read - thank you.' or 'I've read your post - Have a good day.' If we know somebody is reading, it will give us encouragment to stay and continue sharing our wiritings.
But replying without reading, if caught, is annoying.
Thank you.
Yang senang menulis dan berbagi cerita seperti aku ini, yang penting itu tulisan dibaca orang. Mendapatkan Vote Upvote itu satu bonus. Masalahnya di Steemit itu kita tidak tau apakah tulisan kita sudah dibaca kecuali kalau sudah di 'vote'. Mem-vote itu bisa menghabiskan Bandwidth/Steem Power bagi newbie. Awalnya aku senang mengupvote postingan yang aku baca terutama flash fiction/cerpen mini, belum lama setelah itu aku kehabisan bandwidth dan tidak bisa bikin apa-apa selain terus membaca postingan orang; tidak bisa posting, tidak bisa me-reply, tidak bisa mengedit, tidak bisa mengupdate .
Selain mem-vote apakah ada cara lain untuk memberi semangat? Aku kira hanya satu: meninggalkan reply. Me-reply itu gak harus panjang-panjang (kalau memang tidak ada yang kita mau bicarakan) - cukup dengan satu atau dua kata penanda bahwa kita sudah baca - Hadir sudah baca - makasih misalnya atau Saya sudah baca postingan Anda - Moga harinya bahagia. Jika tau ada yang baca, kita jadi tambah semangat untuk terus hadir dan berbagi tulisan.
Tapi me-reply tanpa membaca itu, kalau ketahuan, yah, bikin sebal.
Makasih.
