RE: ๐ The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes available! ๐
Thanks again for this amazing league @abh12345. Week after week!
Just sneaked in into the prizes! Very happy with that!
Second time that a participant ended for a second time on the lucky number 25! @crypto-econom1st did it back to back, now @simplemike scored her second SBI share! Whom of the 2 of you can score the hat trick?
@glenalbrethsen again a very decent performance. And this after stepping away from his prize. A real gentlemen he is!
To bad I did have to use a self vote on a comment ๐ I knew the consequences but it had to be done!
@gillianpierce my prophecy came true. Congrats and well done!
It is strange to see that @lynncoyle1 outside the top 3!
@janton what an entry you made. Just amazing!
Let me warn you all, wonโt be going out a lot this week. So next week will be mine or ... not!
Cheers,
Peter
Yep, just enough to take a prize :D
I forgot Mike finished 25th previously - interesting that we have 2 now who've landed the prize twice.
Sometimes a self-voted comment is important for the state of someones blog. I used to do it on introduction posts to get myself above all the spam.
World cup starts this week, will engagement fall across the globe? :) Cheers!
Or just increase? I will have enough posts to comment on. At least that where I am hoping on! Activity will be a lot less due to price of Steem falling!
Indeed curious to see who will make the hat trick first.
Do you have a record how many weeks I did sponsor it already?
Lost the count!
This is the 8th week.
Probably. A good chance to keep at it and get noticed :)
We will do our utmost best.
Registration for the world cup contest has been closed so I do have a lot of spare time at hands ๐
It feels strange to be out of it, but I decided to spend more time with Brian and I had family visit from out of town this week, so real life prevailed :)
Real life should always come first! And for sure in your life. Still amazed how positive you can be! Deep respect for this!
awww thank you @fullcoverbetting! I appreciate it :)
Well, I've intended to be a the top of the list the last two weeks after stepping away, but it's just not been happening. Haven't been doing anything differently. It seems like there's just not been as much to comment on lately, and people haven't been replying to my comments as much. Not the leaguers, though. The rest of Steemit that was engaging to a degree. Maybe it's just us, the newbies who are still figuring it out, and the bots. :)
I am sure that the current value of Steem has something to do with it. We do see it each time, than when the value drops the activity drops. O boy, what are those people thinking? they couldn't be more wrong.
They do only look at the value of their content in USD, which is so wrong! Okay the upvotes have less value, but it is also cheaper to power up! So, if we look at steem it makes no difference! When the votes have more value the price of steem is also higher, so they do think that they earn more, but if they do power up, it is just the same!
Really short sighted.
Also for newcomers, golden opportunities arise! Lets activity makes it easier to stand out of the crowd and be noticed!
I am going full throttle this week, or at least I will try! Already have a head start compared to the other weeks. But yeah you are correct it is much harder to find content to comment on!
But I will try.
Keep it going @glenalbrethsen (woow, typing your name out of my head correctly) it is worth it!
Cheers,
Peter
I think you're right in that we should keep going when prices are lower just like we should when prices are higher. The problem is, when people aren't doing that, too, there's fewer posts to curate and also fewer people to see your stuff. So, if the curators would hang around, or at least set up autovote, that would be better than disappearing all together, if they don't feel like they can spend the time posting, too.
Oh, well. We can tell people what they should be doing until we're blue in the face, I guess. Doesn't mean they're going to do it, or have time to do it, so I guess we make do with whoever there is and move on. :)
We can show how it could be done, but they will have to draw their conclusions. In the mean time we can keep this conversation going on forever because it is still better than reading the posts in trending :)
Already asked @abh12345 if he could dig up, how much percentage of the comments are written as a comment on these posts. For sure for the character length we could be surprised!
I am going to guess that the percentage of these comments on this page is going to vary greatly from person to person (no big observation there), but in my case, I'd be surprised if it's any more than 10-15% of the total, which is pretty significant, but meaning the other 85-90% is coming from other posts, which I think is pretty good. There's a bunch of engagers here, so it's only natural we're going to do that. :)
