RE: Steemit: The Curation Leagues - SBD and Delegation Prizes!
Well I didn't think it was possible, but I think you've just topped your previous comments with this one Dave.
Thank you, that is a really kind thing to say. How can I not vote you to the top of my blog after that!?
I'm so happy I set this thing rolling, the comments I receive each week make it completely worth my time and money, and I wish I could vote you all to the moon.
Thanks for being here!
Asher, I have been meaning to reply to this for the last 2 days. But I wanted to have the time to reply to you with my full attention
You have been such a positive influence into every aspect of what I have been involved with, I want you to know that you've been a great teacher and role model! On top of that, I want you to know that your tools (metrics) have shown me more about what I need to know than anything else here. They have shown me that this platform is so early that I can barely tell we have started. In baseball here in America it would be like the first pitch to the first batter in the first inning. We have much work to do and the group that you have attracted here are going to be the players in the future.
Engagement is the key to building any social network. The stats you presented "with the bots" show how little engagement there really is here by the humans. Otherwise we wouldn't recognzie 1/2 of all the top 50 humans on the list. Think about that for a minute.
You now have "THE" league to be in if you want to know the future connectors and influencers. Yes the names will change and the ranks will shift around due to various factors, but the bottom line is that the people that engage most will have the most real relationships over time and that is a factor that will be amazing!
I just wanted you to know, in case my teacher hadn't already considered it!!! ;)
Have a great day!!!
Thanks Dave!
Apologies for my slow response, I took a break yesterdays and for most of the day today too - I'm back on top of my replies, saving this one until last.
I'm proud/honoured/embarrassed to receive these words and appreciate the time you take each time to write them. And I think this is a key aspect to my positive influence - I try to make the time for almost every reply i receive, as well as make my way out to other blogs (although this is getting tougher!) and give support there.
I think most people are aware that Steemit is upside down with regards to engagement and quality content - most of this is taking place in the lower ranks. And so this is where I choose to engage, and try to encourage the keen to stay on track. I really do think that engagement is the grease to the Blockchain, and without all these comments flying around things would look a bit bleak for the platform.
Thank you again for your support in turn, and for almost doubling the entries into THE league :)
Omgosh Asher, never worry about responding quickly to me. Honestly I know how busy you are and I also realize how hard it is to keep up. I myself are days behind in my comments, but things just keep popping up to do. So I do my best, and I'm sure you do too! So you have my full respect and never think that you have to respond back!
One point on the fact that most are aware of the "upside-down-ness" of the engagement, it is relatively new to me. Your league is very responsible for turning on the lightbulb in that regard. You have always come across as a humble guy, but you really need the higher ups to see what your stats show. Maybe this is something that they know and don't care, but my guess is they have heard but didn't really listen. If you ever need my help in "tooting" your horn in this regard to get their, please let me know because I'm not shy when I'm passionate about making a point that I think is helpful.
You're welcome for my support and that goes both ways. I'm very thankful for the support you've shown me and also everyone else. You're engaging in the lower ranks will have a major benefit on many! ;)
Have a great day and always nice to hear from you Asher! :)
Ok that's good then, I'm happy to receive a reply on a topic, old or new.
It sure does take a lot of time and energy, as you know, to reach and support as many people as possible - what's the limit here, I don't know.
This is why I love delegating out to people who I know will further the message, in the same way that FTG did for so many.
Yeah... I think you could be right. Honestly, most don't need to engage to lift their follower base or Post earnings, it's dirty work to them and not required.
The user count has grown so much - can you imagine knowing almost everyone on the platform 18 months ago? :) You would be able to write a reply to everyone over the course of the week.
But yes, I'd like the numbers to been seen - and I think they are looked at by a few potential delegators, although I don't think much will happen during the current states of affairs, shall we say.
If thinks change though, I would expect to see some nice support for those greasing that dirty big Chain :)
Have a great day too!
haha... I like that ... the dirty big Chain!!!! :)
I understand your points and appreciate your insight!!!
