Before Steem I used to read Hacker News on a regular basis. One of the most interesting things there was that the comments were often MUCH more interesting than the post that they were commenting on. Many times I would just get the gist of the post from the title and skip right to reading the comments.
No matter what the topic (it was all tech/science type stuff) it seemed there were people who were extremely knowledgeable about the subject posting in the comments. The comments also served as a good way to judge if the post was worth reading at all. The comments would let you know if it was BS or actually something interesting.
Anyway, I always wondered how they were able to accomplish that and wished certain Steem communities could be like that some day.
Cool idea! I have a science degree and I really never even thought about posting science stuff on here. Like you said I guess I figured since no one else is why bother. I will be checking into #stemgeeks and I will try to take part in this challenge! I hope others do as well.
I like it @themarkymark! When I got to steem a couple of years ago that was about all I did, comment. Everything from serious engagement to wacky shit just to get a response. Not only is it a way to learn more about the subject of the post, it's WAY EASIER than making a post. Sssshhhhhhh, don't tell anyone.
P.S. I also love to leave popcorn, so thanks for that.
I agree with you. very difficult to get other people involved. I have repeatedly tried to introduce the Steem platform to many people. but when I introduced Steemit, many people didn't really believe that Steemit provided payments through digital currencies. and many of them don't know about digital currencies. and sometimes they fear that steemite is a fraud.
I keep trying to explain. there are some who don't care when I explain it. and there are some who care and get involved in steemit. but just a few weeks, he stopped. and the only person who doesn't take long to love steemit, he is @tya.saputry.
in just 2 weeks involved here, he immediately made a purchase of steem with the amount of more than 1 thousand. and I helped him to make a purchase. at present he has been here for more than 1 month. I keep trying to support him so that he feels at home and loves steemit more.
According to a survey I have done, it is difficult for people to be involved here not because of price. but because of lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency, and the influence of many media. many media say that digital currency is not good to buy. It was a fraud, and caused huge losses. and there are some people who commit fraud by doing bitcoin mining projects. and they ask someone else to make a deposit first. and finally they deceive people who have joined. this is the doing of some scapegoats which cause bad digital currency in the eyes of the people.
In my opinion the best course of action to increase people's involvement here is to clear misconceptions about digital currencies. and after they understand about digital currency, maybe they will be young involved here.
Hmm. Maybe we need more spam! I am being completely facetious, this is a good idea! Support comes in more ways than just upvotes and I have been noticing the comments slowing down as well.

Yes, I agree. The many different perspectives shared on comments make the discussion much more interesting and intellectually richer as well.

You can use any of the following tags to be eligible for STEM tokens in addition to your STEEM rewards.
You don't need to use https:/stemgeeks.net but that will lock it down to just those tags. You can also use SteemPeak and select the STEMGeeks Tribe.
I'm gonna fuck your kid in the ass.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could fuck your kid together?

I wasn't aware of stemgeeks before. Will definitely look into it.
Challenge accepted. If one hundred people do twenty comments a day it be six thousand in finish of challenge...
