I wrote a post a month ago about a new page besides the trending and hot page.
The idea behind it was based on the thrash which is on the trending page.
Just like @abh12345 I do find interaction one of the most important things in the steem ecosystem, so why not create a ranking based on interaction, hence comments.
I do know no matter what ranking will be created there will be mazes in the net which will be exploited!

Together with @sbcbot community (don’t be fooled by the bot in the name) we are trying to encourage our members to post and interact.
The biggest problem here according to me is the low level of post versus comment ratio. Reports indicate that we only just reach a ratio of 2.6!
That is compared with old social media a shamefull performance!
Asher is doing great with his league to try to change this! And @paulag is doing the same for the Indonesian community! I can only encourage this!

At the moment I am running a world cup contest and the comment counters is at 125! Okay it is a contest, no upvote, resteem or any other requirements to enter, but still 125 comments. Each comment is for me a chance to discover new people. But it will never reach the trending or hot page, while it does bring added value to the steem blockchain! How wrong is that! Some people might argue that it does not bring added value but it does for some!

I will stop ranting 😂 because it does frustate me a little bit.
If you have 5 minutes spare time feel free to join to contest. Would appreciate it!
