RE: SteemSTEM Distilled #35
I am never expecting an answer when I am commenting. That's one way to avoid deception. I however always try to answer people taking te time to comment my post (even with a flag for obvious spamming :p)
The reply makes it more fun and more interesting.. I reply my comments too.. But those with links.. I flag instantly even though my sp is little.
It is enough to hide them :)
I can totally see why you would try to not have any expectations when writing a comment here on Steemit. I believe that something like 1 out of 5 people actually answers, so it can often feel pretty hopeless to spend your time on this.
20% is not a bad number :)
Maybe not, but that depends on how you look at it. I still think that not getting answer to 80 % of comments is a little too high, but that does of course depend on the nature of the comment. Still, replying and engagement on Steemit is not really as high as I would have liked it to be.
It is a huge number, but I see it the opposite way: 20% is twice better than 10%. Hopefully, we should get to 80% answers for 20% ignores, but we are far from there... Maybe on a year or so, if your steemstem strategy towards engagement works?
That is probably a much better way to look at it ;)
I wish more people started giving small upvotes to people who comment, and those they interact with. I get that some people are against paying for interaction, but I truly believe that some comments can add a lot of value to the main posts, especially if they bring additional information, their own experience etc., and it's really unfair that the post author get so much money while those who contribute in the comment section get close to zero. But we'll see how the future of this will play out :)
I am trying to reward the comments to my posts according to their relevance. But this is not easy and also my VP is limited (a good fraction of it is dedicated to the @steemstem and @francosteemvotes projects). But I agree, we should foster interactions! :)
