RE: Engagement Rates on Steemit Vs. Facebook - Why Numbers Don't Tell the Whole Story
This all comes down to rewarding those and building your community of followers here on steemit. If you reward those with shallow and meaningless comments then you start to say to everyone else well that is ok. If you reward only those who have read your post and provide value in return or just share a story and some insight ralated to what you have posted about you build a strong communit of saying you better take the time to read the post, understand it and then add value and for doing so you will be rewarded because I as a poster value that.
This is one of the advantages, but can also be a disadvantage of steemit depending on how you as the creator work with your vote values. But the cool this is here on steemit you have the power to decide what that is.
Also hey to your sis @maryjaney I will be dropping by her intro post
P.S The other big bonus is you actually made decently good money from your post as well as better thoughtful engagment WIN WIN!
Aww thanks for the great comment my friend! Ps... THANK YOU for engaging with both of my sister’s posts!! Seriously, it means so much to me!
You bring up a lot of great points in your response. We as content creators have the power to set the culture with our votes. By only upvoting quality comments, we are encouraging that kind of behavior.
It’s been pretty cool to see the difference of engagement on posts like these, compared to my music posts. I think it’s true that thoughtful content tends to invoke more thoughtful comments as well. I’m actually having a bit of a hard time keeping up with replying to everyone, which is such a cool problem to have! 😜
