Little Monday Rant
One of the side effects of the #newsteem is less engagement, less comments on people's posts.
That's in part true because fewer authors keep rewarding people who engage with them on their posts with an upvote. Don't blame the authors for that, it's a side effect of the new economic system, which isn't as bad as enough of us thought at first, just bad for engagement.
At the same time, with or without a reward incentive to comment on a post, people find themselves having less time to do it. It happens to me. Manual curation does take time. Time one can use to... comment, for example.
For now, this is just a remark. Not saying it's good or bad people seem to prefer more curation to engagement.
The side effect that I really don't like these days is that many posts have more bot comments than real human comments. If we add to this the comments that only invoke bot commands, then we don't set a good picture for anyone looking from the outside in.
Plus, if real comments are no longer upvoted, they will be "lost" among a plethora of bot comments and bot invoking commands. Why would this person bother to comment again next time?
For a few days I started to use @CommentCoin to reward comments on my blog. But I wonder: do they reward known bot accounts as well, for their comments? I hope not!
The other thing I'll start doing is to upvote all the real non-spam comments to go above bot comments, for visibility. Sorry, in 99% of the cases they will be around 1% weight, so below the dust threshold, but enough for visibility purposes. Hopefully the CC token rewards will compensate in time.
I still haven't tried out the cc tag. Guess I first need to get a post out, lol.
It's sad, but true: after HF21 (+22), the number of comments has dropped significantly. Makes me wonder if people only commented to get rewarded for it. Personally, I've never commented just to get upvotes - my comment behavior hasn't really changed a lot.
Well, I guess I'd better not buy you a beer, then, lol.
I agree. I comment without considering whether or not a reward is attached.
You should get a CC token for this comment. Not really sure when though (after how long). If you buy some more CC tokens (a minimum of 10 at this point), you can then use the CC tag on your posts.
Hmm, yes, in a way I do wonder that too.
Mine kinda did. Although in some cases I might've hoped for upvotes :), most of the times I was just trying to contribute. Nowadays it seems I'm all over the place on Steem: tribes and tokens, more manual curation both for STEEM and for some tokens, games, etc. The only thing that hasn't change is posting.
After after such a comment, sure a !BEER would be nice. (trying it for the first time, hope that works, I don't have any staked, only liquid).
Yeah, you need beer yourself before you can give it out.
Here's one for your trouble :0)
!BEER
For some unknown reason, I received the 10 CC tokens in a kind of airdrop. So all I need is some inspiration to make a post :0)
Same here. But I've been spending less time on the blogging platform or the tribes these last couple of months. Not enough, actually. I've been spending most of my time playing Steemmonsters and chatting on Discord. I should really shift my activity from Discord back to this place. It would be nice to score a bit higher on the list in @abh12345's Engagement league again. (
Thanks! :)
Nice! I bought mine. Or you commented on 10 posts which had the cc tag already?
No, I saw a post made by them in which they announced that I got 10cc. I have about 17 now, earned from commenting. It seems to be quite popular....

BEER.Hey @gadrian, here is a little bit of
BEERfor you. Enjoy it!Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 6 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to steem-engine.com
Hmmm.. I am usually commenting if the topic is interesting to me, or sometimes I comment because I appreciate the author and want to show my gratitude for his effort...
Anyways, it is a time consuming thing, but it's not an excuse... :(
I agree... Not an excuse. I'll try to do better myself in the future...
