RE: Welcome TRON! Let's make #STEEMTRON more powerful
I think this is the world we live in, not just steemit. Everyone (to be fair, most of the people) is busy showing off, doing their own thing.
Hell, I don't know if I'm commenting here to gain some attraction or to say what's necessary.
There are many selfless people in the world. I speak from experience. My friends (including even my co-workers, my colleagues and my boss) are very kind, helpful and social. So, there are many selfless people in the world. Not only offline, but also online. Other social networks are successful in this regard. Just see YouTube, for example. Even the smallest YouTubers receiving good human comments under their videos. Those comments are often funny and humorous. But anywhere I look on the Steem blockchain, almost all I see is selfishness and greed. False positivity. There are many bot and spam-like comments. Very disappointing.
And I have seen selfless people here, (maybe not selfless, but people eager to help and communicate). Yes, so many bots here, and so many ads in YouTube. Also consider that YouTube has close to 2 billion users, while steemit has just over 1 million. It's easy to just see the good people of YouTube and ignore the struggling ones, but in steemit, there are not so many users, so you will probably see both sides.
I could have mentioned any other social media, not only Facebook. Because in terms of social activity, anything is better than the Steem blockchain, which is sad. I have not wrote that there are no selfless people on the Steem blockchain, but nowadays there are only a few socially active users on the Steem blockchain. See the statistics. Nowadays the number of the daily active users is 30-32 000. Sometimes there are more than 40 000 blog posts per day, which means that some people create even more than one blog posts per day. Yet the average number of comments is only 2-3. And many of these comments are bot, bot-like, spam, spam-like comments. Very disappointing. If people can take time to write (sometimes more than one) blog posts per day, then why they cannot take time to write comments and interact with others?
I have to agree.
Though I have found few new friends, but in other social medias, I usually tend to interact with those who I already know offline. Not a system-related thing, but still a positive thing for me.
So, let's interact more with each other. For example, I noticed that you have started doing a lot more comments for the last months. (I didn't check, is just my gut feeling)
I went on leave and after coming back that's the impression I have.
I agree that we need more interactivity, and this is partially why I decided to everyday (or as much as I can) visit the new posts section to interact with someone I never met.
If everyone would do this, it would massively change interactivity.
Then if I find something I can help with, a question, a curiosity, or whatever, I jump on it and try add up. I am noticing already some reaction of doing it. Which is nice. But on the other end, I spend a lot more time than I used to spend.
Still, I enjoy.
