RE: Pause for Reflection: What I Learned from Doing the Steemit Community Engagement Challenge
That sounds great. I would fail miserably.
There is no way I could comment so much and much respect to those that can. I have almost 600 posts, and about 1800 comments. That is 1:3
It is surprising considering how wordy I am :)
I am glad that there are some initiatives like this happening though and I hope that the quality will float and the nonsense sink into obscurity.
Good work.
You're a different kind of quality content creator @tarazkp... in a sense, you contribute the original stories those who comment extensively can discuss and engage with.
Which gives me an idea for future challenges of this nature: "Suggested reading."
Ideally, for every attempt to create a so-called "upvote cartel," we'll be able to counter it with (at least) equal and opposite quality initiatives.
Oh, I like that "suggested reading" idea. Kind of like a daily book club with discussions. Let me know if you do something like this @denmarkguy :)
@merej99, we'll see what comes up... noodling a few ideas around!
If you DO decided to run another edition of the Challenge-- or make it quarterly-- I'll be quite happy to help out (as well as participate) in whatever capacity we can.
If it becomes "a thing," the Community Challenge could even end up having its own account and potentially solicit delegated SP from some of Steemit's "heavy hitters" just while the event runs... to reward/encourage/cheer on hard working contributors with upvotes. And I can think of at least a dozen "Steembassadors" who might be willing to help announce it.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, here... I just find it easiest to brainstorm for events while they are still fresh in my mind.
I hope the community challenge becomes "a thing" - even hoping it's translated for foreign language participants.
I created an account months ago called CollaborNation but didn't have time to build up two accounts. With delegated SP, I'm definitely thinking about resurrecting it for challenges and #payitforward initiatives. It was originally launched with the idea of curating any projects of a collaborative nature and using Power Downs to help sponsor people for Steemfest.
The wheels... they are turning... I'll be sure to tap you on the shoulder for the next one...for help and participation. LOL I actually miss the crazy pace! It was the motivation I needed to jump in again.
Sounds good! I think it could become a really good thing for Steemit, as a "building tool." With a separate account, I like the idea of using powerdowns for SteemFest "scholarships."
Just let me know when the time comes... leave me a comment, or "ping" me with a message on a 0.001SBD transfer if it's urgent.
Thanks @denmarkguy it is good to be useful I think. It is frustrating when people take ideas from me and write them much better than I would :)
It would be nice to be recommended occasionally for such things. It would be interesting if some of the highly invested got behind such a project too. I feel this place is a little bit of a gambling hall at the moment with all the pay for upvote accounts now. Paying to get paid from a public pool seems strange in some way but I am not privy to all the information of course.
Yeah, there are some "issues" on the site at the moment... I'm actually working on a post about the "paid upvote" issue-- which will probably be considered "incendiary" by some of the power players and creators of upvote bots... Hint: it's basically a rip-off... and works mostly like a "tax" on minnows in exchange for the illusion of popularity....
Yes, many other sites offer followers for the same reasons.
