RE: 🏆 The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes available! 🎁
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. :)
