RE: Statement: 0.22.5
I cannot remember I ever saw a reader or view count although reading is not the same as a click on (accidentally) and leaving.
It's not the place to read. Those who like reading might but most don't and do not like to write either. I was told one long post is better as many short but I do not agree. It only works if you are a big fish but in that case, you can write one or two lines too. People will vote you anyway and hope you vote back.
200-500 is enough. You should advertise your contest underneath each post of yours.
The attention span is short, 3 minutes read is too long for most. Many longer articles repeat themselves and I am sure the followers don't read it all. On the internet/blockchain you need to write differently. Mobile users keep scrolling and pc users don't like a screen filled with words.
At the moment I wonder how many are still active here. It feels empty to me.
It will get worse with the internet connection if all children need it instead of school.

I once heard that a longer post is a better quality and will get more upvote. I believe that at first until I encountered post with only one picture fews words or few words only bit got votes higher than the longer post.
I don't know how to get votes from a whale even though I think few of my post got them. I was so into running to get more upvotes until one day I stop running and just went with the flow.
In truth, I became better because of engaging. I think this is the way. A better way. !tip
I believe the only way to grow is engaging and via contests. If you visit someone and comment they might visit you too. It doesn't matter if it is just once. I noticed most followers do not follow you at all. Neither do I. It's an easy puck of reading content if someone you know shows up on your screen but I visit the ones who visit me or search for accounts of people I know. I wish I could do that more frequently but my connection is the main problem.
A contest is good to be noticed, show your name no matter if people read you or not. I tried it with short or longer content but I never earned more with longer content. I did notice the amount of words I use increase which means it takes me way more time.
What takes most time with me hardly earns unless I am on someone's list.
If you write more you might attract more people because you are not always writing about the same subjects plus most do not like to read much. It makes it harder to comment too. 💕
I think we are facing the same situation here. I don't know how to be in someone else list. It's easier within the communities but just that won't be enough.
Writing does take time from 5 to 10 minutes for me. Visiting needs a lot of time amd the longer someone write the longer time I need to give replies or comments because I need to read it a few time to understand a bit better.
Oh gosh I need one hour to write or more. Adding photos etc takes even longer. I wish I knew a way to be faster. Many times I see people write exactly the same just change a few lines. I need to read it several times too. If I do not understand it I copy the text and switch screens to google translate. With a slow connection this means I lost the earlier screen and have to start up the app again.
I manage but there must be a faster way.
Perhaps we should no longer read everything or translate?
If you stay in communities only you will not find much news, different posts and they rarely reward you. I search "new" not trending plus follow certain tags or read what others resteem etc. 💕
I pre-write some of my post in my mobile note pads. By the time i want to post or schedule, I only need to edit a bit.
I do that too and I add certain parts to it which I save separately. I guess you are at work. Enjoy it and have a good day. 💕
