RE: Steemit Growth or Personal Growth?
Just like you I wouldn't follow a lecture where I have to sit and watch. My internet connection is too bad to load and watch videos or watch life at moments I want to. It's already annoying enough without all the extra stress. I also believe that if this is the only way a lesson is taught this means the lessons aren't open for everyone. Most of us do not have access to internet 24/7 and with older devices it's also harder to load pictures.
To display a picture for someone to write on needs more of critical thinking
This isn't true. We all think in a flash if we see a picture, painting, sculpter or a person. The first seconds we already made up our mind what we are looking at, if we like it or not and associations are made. So all you have to do is write it down. If it comes to describing a picture I find it very hard to believe it takes you hours to say: I see 3 trees, a house, sand, the sea and white clouds in a blue sky.
SEC as spotlight for engagement does that mean its exit has also taken away engagement of does the steemit blog have a new way to foster engagement.
This is a very good question. I like to add to it: Should Steemit after all these years again try to motivate people to comment and engage and even pay for it?
• I tried this with a group of Steemians years ago and till today nothing changed.
• I paid the best engagers in the contests I hosted and the result is 0.
• I noticed the same with #wewrite. The commenting is only for the entries but as I check the comments of the participants they do not invest in commenting.
If people are here for the quick earnings it's drop a post and leave.
The only difference that most like will change something and keeps this platform alive is by rewarding commenters properly and by commenters I mean those who comment like you and I write right now. Comments that take a lot of time to write, show content is read and there's engagement but the truth is these comments are hardly read or answered and not rewarded.
It is what I did as a curator in September. I don't see curators do this actively except for @stef1. This means most curators don't care and all they want is to upvote quickly whatever they see or where they believe they are noticed.
I find this a pity since what @pennsif suggested in August 2024 was one of the best ideas to find out who is committed to Steemit and willing to invest time in boosting this platform.
Do we have to post daily to be noticed? I don't think so. We could easily invest two or three days per week on commenting if we lack time and work on our post offline.
A great day to you and thanks for taking the time to reply.
Hi Kitty, I read all the comments and also the post of @nsijoro my opinion might be completely different but I wanted to share it here too:-
Hope that makes a sense...
To me this all makes sense and I find it hard to believe it doesn't to anyone else.
The promise you get paid if you join and post on Steemit still circulates. In a way it's true if you invest Steem and somehow as well if the promise is made if it came to the sec contests and comes to the SC, boosting votes and the teaching team. So what does this mean?
Are we all on the wrong trail or is Steemit centralized?
@sainkelvin17
I agree with you, describing what we have in a picture is not hard,
I feel all engagers should be paid not just the best, because if the best engager surpasses another with about 5 and does it means the other person did nothing? Imagine 20 comment compare to 25 or 20 compared to 30/35, they all did well, I appreciate you too for pointing this things out. Thank you so much, I will give a reply to ur comment on the other of my post
Well, no one in my contests cared about engaging,not even as the prize was as high as #1.
So I should keep paying everyone year in and out because they comment?
No one rewards me for commenting, Europeans are in average ignored by curators. How come? Are we only good to be the piggy bank?
What makes all those Steemians believe we all live a rich life?
I can tell you this: the fact people know me is not because of my fat wallet. Many I know have way more than I and I only hear complaints about poverty.
Did they all post as much as I did? Commented as much and long?
How come I am still don't have a big collection of dolphins?
If it comes to the SC rewards I believe it's worth to limit the upvotes of posts and search for those who comment. Can be a different type of SC is needed.
If those who are upvoted are always the same people so be it. It is the only way to wake up people and make them understand that commenting, replying is needed to keep this platform lively.
I see a huge drop this month although a small group still comments.

So how do you keep track of this comment when you were a curator when there are all hidden by the reload button
As a curator we used a sheet and everything can be noted or remembered or checked.
I have a list of Steemians, go to their acvount - comments and have look howvand on what/when they comment. It's how I checked the #wewrite participants. I directly visited their accounts on the day I nominated the 5 best (check, check, dubble check) and fir wewrite a sheet was used.
That's nice
