RE: 🏆 The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes available! 🎁
oh wow! maybe if you enter your steemit name and ashers name together in a search. you crack me up being so serious about the numbers. do you want to be number 1?
No, I think you misunderstand, I only care about my engagement, yes I like seeing how well others are doing, for me I use the league as a check of how I am doing in my engagement with others and varied accounts. It is nice that Asher provides an incentive for people, but it really is not about that.
I like steemit, I never facebooked, or google hanged out. Or youtubed. I would like to see steemit being a long term option, I had a few problems when I first joined steemit, so I am trying to help new users get a leg up. The league helps in tracking that, if I am not out there commenting and voting then what purpose do people have for posting, if no one is going to go and read it and comment on it.
The long term survival of steemit is engagement. People can buy all the votes they want, they can buy all the reputation they want through votes. So it is not hard for a person to become a REP of 65 and have an SP balance of less than 500 voting power. I understand not everyone want to make an effort at commenting on post, that they just "throw" a vote at a piece of content and call it good. The vote buyers don't care if they get no comments, most of the non vote buyers like the comments they get.
They did away with the "Views" count for a reason, if you ask why they come up with a lot of excuses, as to why it does not can not and will not work. I don't believe any of it.
So no I do not want to be number 1. I am not striving for number 1. I am striving to improve my engagement and the table and numbers help me know where I am, where I was, and what I need to improve on.
i think that i came to my conclusion by you saying "you three need to meet up and take a break and let others move up" LOL
nice to see you care about your engagement, probably why we are all here at least hopefully. like asher had mentioned to me before i actually make more by upvoting my own posts. since being here it found that it allows me to give more to others and that is why i stopped, not to "win" this league nor to be #1. so in essence i am totally with you as far as being here for engagement.
again, i agree with you as far as the "incentive," when in actuality it is all about seeing how engaged we are with others on steemit.
yeah i was a FB addict with 5k followers and had been on since its inception. this is much better, and especially since i always wanted to write. yes helping noobs is a good thing, i do that also ... i'm in quite a few groups to help the babies. not bad, right?
yes i have seen that as well as far as commenting, and for 6 months i learned immediately the importance of commenting and this is one thing that is emphasized in all my groups.
glad to hear you do not be number 1, its an interesting concept to get there for sure. i was completely shocked when i did, so ya never know it might be you next! woop. as Glen told me it just takes a few people to drop off and there you are. hehe
good luck and see you around!! it appears that usually those in this group pop up in so many other initiatives and groups bc guess what? WE Engage On STeemit! Happy WEek and stay Blessed
