RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes available! ๐
Congratulations to everyone, @glenalbrethsen - What the heck can I say, simply amazing, for the first time in a couple of weeks, no tight neck and neck finish, you sir are simply amazing.
@janton, @lynncoyle1, and @fullcoverbetting, absolutely wonderful levels of engagement on your parts, I feel honored to be in the top ten well with everyone in the top ten.
I am happy to say that my numbers all increased over last week with the exception of my voting ability. Fewer accounts voted on, and less account diversity. I am hoping that this is due to the steem price and my desire not to give a dust level vote to people so I have had to up my percentage a little bit. It was nice to see my growing comment depth level finally growing again.
Thank you everyone, especially Asher for maintaining this list for us so we can honestly track our progress. I am very happy to see that I am not very far off from my averages. For averaging the total numbers over the last 12 weeks, my average level has improved over last months summary slightly. My comment depth has improved, comment length, and over all score, bad thing however is the number of comments, votes and unique votes have declined, some of this could be price related and life, (it is summer) related.
That's nice of you to say, @bashadow. I'm just hanging out, trying to have fun and do some encouraging along the way. Congratulations to you and your placing. It's amazing to me how so many of you are keeping your commenting numbers up when I've been scrambling around to do it.
The drop in STEEM is definitely in play here. And, I think about a third of the people I follow have been publishing less than normal, so that's not helping. While there doesn't appear to be too many bulls in sight, hopefully they'll start chasing off the bears soon.
Upvoting is just going to take a hit. I managed to do a little bit more this week through some rationing, but I don't like it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but the amounts I can leave have been cut in half, so there's not really much I, you, or most of us, including the higher SP can do about it, other than to try to keep going and wait for the bull run.
Today I noticed a very slight uptick in my account value, so it seems hings are getting a bit better, first time in a week it has gone up, even if it was only by a few dollars (13), it is still better than going down even as rewards come in. So tomorrow, Hopefully still a tad bit higher. It's he slow times like this that people should be posting, more chance of being seen, because of fewer post.
At least it is not like last year in may, I looked at a couple of post and comments from then, there were big name people with 9 votes and only $0.02 in reward, It was rather sobering to see those small numbers. At least we have @dustsweeper to help us out, what a fricken God send that was from Dave and Daniel.
Things have to go up at some point, right? We've been in the downturn for a little longer than the other times since I've been here. So, hopefully, we're working through all of that, whatever that is.
It's true that things can always been worse. Having nine votes for $0.02 is almost as bad as having no votes, because you know people are trying to help but they just can't, so you feel bad for them and the post. :)
We do need to hang around and do as much as we can. Hopefully, things will work out. Not much we can do about it either way, so we might as well do what we can with what we have and see what happens.
Thank you @bashadow, and thank you so much for the sbd to go towards our Pay it forward contest too! I really appreciated that:) Congratulations to you as well here; it's great to see you tracking your success :)
I must be the brokest bee in the hive. But I tried, and you offered, so the slow build starts again. Monday is going to be interesting to see what happens, and what tcpolymath has ins tore for me and the others.
@thedarkhorse just saw my message from you and is very thankful! Yours will be used for the random pick winners and danielsaori's will go to the 4 judge's picks. Now everyone gets SBI and @dustsweeper thanks to you :)
As a spectator, I'm so curious to see what Monday brings too !!
Its a great contest he runs, i just kept running out of time to participate. going to be exciting times for me I expect. Did you see @ned's post about the grateful dead? I just had to spam the IFC song to him.LoL He is still going through soul searching I think. he must be having a pretty hard time lately.
I hear you about running out of time. We can only spread ourselves so thin and eventually have to pick a couple things to focus on and that's that.
I missed his post, but I love that you sent him the song! I would think it's a tough time for sure for him at the moment!
Spinning plenty of plates right now I guess ๐
Don't worry, I think you are doing the right thing :)
The points for votes is very small, as you can see from @janton's total - gives everyone a chance.
Well done!
