The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Come, Comment and Earn SBD $$$
View this post on Hive: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Come, Comment and Earn SBD $$$
I have moved all my content away from the now centralized and controlled Steem blockchain to the decentralized Hive blockchain.
So you are asking us for more comments?
A few weeks after I started following you I left a couple of comments but never got a reply so I stopped commenting here.
I'm still following you and reading your post and watching the videos. You are bringing good content which is often helpful for me.
Just thought there is no point in asking questions or commenting since it seems you are too busy.
Of course I enjoy upvotes on my comments to but a reply is sometimes even nicer.
Don't worry no bad feelings at all!!!
I'm still interests in what you have to say.
Allies klar? Mach Mach weiter so und halt den Kopf oben. Ich schau immer mal wieder rein was du so machst. Und wenn du mir ab und zu mal antwortest oder ein Upvote da lässt, bin ich doch schon glücklich. Ha ha!
Viele Grüße aus Japan!!
Hey, I am sorry if I didn't reply. Usually I always do that but I had a few moments during my Steemit time where I was distracted, not motivated or something else. I had a few posts with over a hundred comments where I surely have a missed few. And sometimes it happens that I just don't see the reply in my list because my eyes skip over it.
I know the feeling though. I rarely comment on one of the top Steemit authors posts because they have so many comments that they never answer that I just don't care.
Every upvote I give always comes with a reply as well, both for posts and for comments. :)
Japan klingt traumhaft! Ich kann ein paar Worte aus Animeserien auf japanisch.
Thanks for your reply mate.
I know, as popular people on Steemit get as more comment they need to answer so easy to miss something.
No worries, no offense taken!!!
Costa Rica klingt doch auch super. Da ist es jetzt wenigstens wärmer als bei uns, ist dir gerade knapp über null. Und es schneit!
Ich habe Schnee seit 4 Jahren nicht mehr gesehen.
@flauwy, I can relate to this sentence completely: "I rarely comment on one of the top Steemit authors posts because they have so many comments that they never answer that I just don't care."
What ticks me off most is when I comment and upvote on my so called friends' posts and they replied on their own post without any else, but that is what we have to live with too.
Yeah @flauwy
You are right
Steemit is a social media
Interaction is needed, it feels good to know people are reading your post and also dropping feedback.
This is what makes it interesting. Otherwise you are just here to grind for money but that gets boring and inefficiant over time. True interaction is key to for the long-term motivation!
Don't get too discouraged @flauwy ! This is all still so new, especially for all us newcomers, so I think in time things will become more stable.
I will admit I was a little disappointed when I first joined steemit and noticed so many users using upvote bots and/or constantly self voting (and you can see on some pages the massive difference in post views vs votes which isn't so great for the platform). Of course I can totally see why this approach is appealing given that it is completely within the rules and it gives you a much higher exposure (and money) and theoretically more engagement but there's just something about voting bots and self-voting that doesn't sit too well with me. But that's just my humble opinion. I'm sure there are plenty who would argue on the contrary.
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'll do my best to not to use bots or upvote my own content and see where it takes me. At least this way I can be sure that any engagement I get will be fairly organic, at least in theory.
I must say so far I've really enjoyed most of the content that is being posted here on steemit and the steemians are really awesome so even if my future posts don't end up being successful without bots at least I'll be enjoying the process of engaging and consuming content and having fun along the way :)
Cheers!
Yes, that is a very valid concern and something everybody needs to consider. Now I believe that upvote bots should only be used for really high upvotes that guarantee a trending post IF that post really needs exposure and is not just a spammy o low quality post. For example this post of mine here would not deserve that right to be trending.
I find myself to be in the spot that if I don't use an upvote bot, I get 10 or less votes and maybe $.03 on my blogs. I don't really want to use upvote bots but I feel like I am in a place that if I don't, then my blog goes nowhere. I know Steem is supposed to be a social media type site, but most of the time people don't engage like they would if you made a facebook post.
Any advice on how to get away from the upvote bot world but still actually feel like you are making a difference?
I have been there, believe me. We all have. Keep it up and don't let yourself fooled as I have myself. Calculate very carfully if it is still worth it. I give you a few upvotes to get you started. Your content looks good! Be as active as right now and things turn to the better quickly.
What I am seeing a very improved blogger now.
I wish to make some great posts but they need time and I am caught up with so mamy things that cant find enough time for detailed posts.
Just keeping in touch to steemit as it is a good project.
I am planning to sharing my trading analysis and results now
Thanks, I do what I can. I think my quality goes up and down in terms of visual look and content. But I am not really interested in being a top quality blogger all the time. I find it fun to just make a post like this that will make little money but creates plenty of interaction. This post exceeded my expectations.
I have also noticed less comments recently. Seems people are a bit more busy than they used to. If I do read a post I read it carefully so that I can give a relevant comment. Did you say there is a new function for the comment payout ? I haven't seen that
That might be a SteemPlus feature then which is the only extension I use. Reward choice for comments. I will not touch that though since I think comments are one of the greatest way to make SBD right now. :)
That is very true !
hey im new to steemit i follow you because i think you share mostly quality content!!also you posted some helpful tutorials... i found you threw your youtube channel! also very helpful
Thanks for the compliment. Good to know that you found me via YouTube. I was wondering if I continue to upload my stuff there or if I shift entirely to DTube. I guess it does make sense to post there as well.
jup or try it on https://d.tube/ i think its steemits youtube and you get also money for content :)
i also found steemplus threw you thanks a lot!
Yeah, read my comment again and then compare it with your reply. ;)
As utopian mods we've been working together for some time. You came up with the utopian 1up. You seem like an innovativor and although we are yet to interact on a more personal level, after reading this post, I think I got to know you better. Best of luck !!
Hey fellow MOD, let us chat on Discord if you like! I am always up for a talk. :)
Sure
as a newcomer to steemit I am grateful to learn from other Steemians. I like steemit for being able to comment with friends from other countries. I am happy in steemit and sharing information. I understand that steemit is unpredictable. but I keep trying from all friends. never too late to learn. all must start from now. I want to succeed in steemit, but I have not understood this steemit. please help me to learn and start well. thank you for getting a positive response from friends all.
Check out my Steemy videos. I have 50 tutorials about the Steem ecosystem. :)
Thanks
Bots only helped to to increase reps. I feel like they are never beneficial on other way if you are buying votes. I realized I would never get what I have invested after the final payout day.
I was able to grind rather effectively for starters. But it got more complicated and now they are only good for really big promotion in my opinion. Like 100$ upvotes and you don't care about the return.
Yes, you are absolutely right at this point. I used to get some extra vote after getting bigger votes from bots in the beginning. But slowly things have changed, then later was getting votes only from bots. It's the complete loss for a user like me who buy smaller votes.
Like you said it might not be any issue for big users because they can simply capture trending/hot feeds buying $100 or more upvotes.
