RE: Engagement Rates on Steemit Vs. Facebook - Why Numbers Don't Tell the Whole Story
I think that you even can’t compare steemit to any other social network. Here people get paid and the psychology is totally different- on steemit you just upvote those who will get you also profit back (sadly, but it is like it is), but on other platforms- you can put likes as many times you want and you don’t put this to get your “like” back. You just like the content you enjoy. On steemit you would pay attention to whom you upvote- that’s why engagement level differs.
You are correct that they are not and even comparison because one is monetize, and one separately rewards in “popularity”. I use it as a comparison, because that is the social media platform that most people are currently using.
You are correct that some people focus on the on cue ration reward, and so they simply vote for people who they think will make the money and not just call tent that they like. This is not everyone though. If anything, it seems like people tend to vote on authors posts where they really enjoyed their content or have built a friendship with and thus want to support them.
Thanks for stopping by and engaging in the conversation!
