MILK CHALLENGE

in #busy5 years ago (edited)

Hello Milkers and Other Steemians!

It's time to stop burning and chasing potatoes and get back to having fun, engagement and posting.

More people posting, engaging and being active is what it is good for Steem. It creates diversity, fun distribution and engagement and traffic.

Some will call it Milking so I'll just call it that first.

Yes, Steem is about end-users and engagement and the best thing we can do to encourage growth in the community is to support engagement, casual posting and end-user activity.

For one week join the Milk Challenge. Make a post a day, comment on 10 posts that aren't yours each day. That's it.

We tried watching all the whales insist they are manually curating and we see nearly an entire trending page of burn posts, potato posts and the same users that are talking about "Milking"... It's enough. They of course are welcome to use their stake to support whatever they like, but in response I am promoting activity, fun, and engagement.

When a developer builds a new app it is the community that supports it.
Almost all social media sites are measured by activity, traffic and number of users.
The best use of inflation is distribution and support of end-users.

If the bull market comes back Steem will move with it, we have already seen that take place.

Our DPOS system is a distribution model. Each user can use their stake to reward what they think is best for the platform. The end-users of Steem are important to me and I would even say with more activity we are likely to see higher quality posts and new users joining.

Blockchains that run on POW (Proof of Work) also have miners and sell pressure and the current stakeholders do not decide who gets it. :)

Remember if you want engagement... also give engagement.

1 post and 10 comments on other people's content.

Get out there and milk!

A very fine Idea, I wish I could post once a day, but after two and a half years I know it just is not in me. I think I have one steemboard badge for one post a day for a week, but I would be surprised if it is more than that.

For any newer users, that have less than 1000SP might I suggest you make your first post a Movie/Film review post, and enter into @namiks 1000SP Longtterm delegation contest. I dislike dropping links on peoples pages, but I have resteemed it so it is easy for you to find. 5 days left, 3 1000 SP delegations up for grabs, and only 4 entries.

The 10 comments a day part, can be simple or can be hard, it does take time to make the comments, and it means reading the persons post not just voting on it, but as a comment dropper myself, I find the comments sections to be quite entertaining so anything that encourages more comments is a great thing.

Commenting, engagement fun!

ha ha, this is amazing

oh, my god, I remember seeing this video more than 10 years ago. That was really a good parody to matrix. lol

Bull run? Are we milking cows or bulls? A bull would produce some interesting milk. ;D

10 per day?!?! Jeez, what will it be next? That I have to start reading what I vote on as well?

hey, shhh, don't give people any crazy ideas.

hahha they already get an idea :D

Wait... You don't read what you vote on? 😦😦

Once I counted all my comments written in steem and devided that on the days I spent in steem and I found the magic number 20.

Wait, we're suppose to read???

I will be lurking the #milkandtators tag to spread the milk far and wide.

I do post daily, try to leave between between 5-10 comments :)

Well Dan, hats off! You're one of the few who actually *"walks their talk" around here...

not sure that i will count my comments but let the #milkandtators start.

yeah 10ish is good enough

Additional vote #.... oops forgot

Awesome initiative man. Certainly, it seemed as though the fun part of Steem was cut off. Let's Milk!

It will be nice if someone creates a little tool where those comments will be counted. ☺

What about self-milking? Asking for a friend...

If you don't vote for yourself why the fk should i? :)

prefer authors to vote on their own stuff, but with conditions - as long as it's after me

Lol. "... Asking for a friend"
😂

I see what you did there.
