The message about the need for, and value of, engagement seems not to be getting through for some reason. Everyone looking for a short cut maybe, And not realising that there really isn't one. Maybe people thinking (hoping) they will strike it rich by gaining the favour of a large account and so tagging them in every post is where they're at. You know, would like to thank dan, acid and some other big account for being my hive inspiration and mentor...Pathetic. But, maybe people see that as a better option than engaging and doing the work. It isn't of course.
Yes, the curation projects possibly have a hand in it rewarding people for very little effort. I see this one guy posting absolute shit, I mean total rubbish, but there he is getting reasonable rewards...He doesn't engage, and receives zero comments on his posts...But he gets paid...There's many others also. Maybe that's the problem Asher. There's a habit of little effort here. Same as society in the real world.
Indeed. Well first I'd just like to thanks @tarazkp for being my mentor and friend... :)
I did a few stats yesterday, so many posts rewarded by well known curation groups without a comment. I guess they could be trying to uncover the author but do think they if they are continually rewarded without needing to engage that it sets a bad precedent.
I agree completely, engagement should be promoted as keenly as a post itself. I've ceased to vote on users in the past because they didn't engage, despite them doing good posts. Not getting a response to a comment I leave is a sure way to push me away.
