RE: When Is The Best Time To Earn STEEM?
I do think people ignore most posts except those of people they are closely tied to, and the good votes from people who can actually make it worthwhile to write here are actually impossible to get as they are involved in circular voting, better said they only vote for their own groups posts regardless of the quality.
Hey, @gduran.
A firsthand perspective! Okay, this is good. :)
Just to be clear, though, are you saying this is your personal experience, experiences that others are having that you know, or both perhaps? I'm interested in this, because outright ignoring a post means someone sees it, but as you've put it, they don't read it, upvote it or engage with because it's not part of their circle.
And while there's certainly room for that to happen here (all kinds of stuff occurs daily that you at least scratch your head at), how rampant would you estimate it is? Less than half? Half? More than half?
I've always been of the mind that visibility is the issue. We just don't see all there is. We can try to get out there to other people's posts day after day, but as an individual, there's just so much we can do. Collectively, though, if everyone were actually curating, most everyone could at least somewhat regularly be seen. That, I think, is another issue playing here—not everyone reads, period. Lot of autovoting going on.
So, that's one thing. The other thing, what are the posts about? Technically, they may be great, and obviously, they're of interest to the author, but are they something that even a small group of people, say a dozen or more, are going to want to read?
I have no doubt that there's circle voting, and I have no doubt that there may be some, maybe quite a few, who only upvote those in their own circle. But depending on how that's set up and how they go about it, that could be all the posts they see, which doesn't really mean they're ignoring posts outright. I mean, I guess the end result is the same, but ignoring is knowing something exists and doing nothing, which is different than not knowing because you're completely occupied with something else.
So, I'm interested in more of what you think here, because you may very well represent a cross section of people with similar sentiment that for STEEM to be a healthy, vibrant community, such things, and many many more, such an issue needs to be effectively addressed.
Well for starters in the feed tab you only see the articles of people you follow so if someone doesn't get out of the comfort zone, that is all the people that will get a vote from this person. I think that is about fair enough I can't expect people to be reading a lot of articles every day just to give out a vote, but that is certainly one of the reasons many people leave the platform.
