I have always struggled with balancing the interaction with quality content. I am a slow reader/writer so I spend all my time on my posts (currently writers block...haha). This way I don't have much time (or energy) left to read and comment. Also, I don't want to be faking enthusiastic responses... The result is that I mostly "rely" on upvotes from curation like @curie @travelfeed @steemitworldmap and the amazing @ocd (😝). If you spend 8 hours on a blog post that you are proud of, you are just very disappointed when there are no comments and hardly any upvotes. But I am not taking that personal anymore (took me a while). However... It taught me that it currently is pretty hard to discover quality content (that likely interests you) outside your "familiar people" which makes me very happy that projects like @steeveapp and @trufflepig exist. I believe that the success of any social media platform is in the addictive factor of it. The rewards you receive for your work are the addictive factor for the content creators. For the content consumers, it is the ease at which you can consume more content of your personal taste. Both need to be in balance to grow over time. If we look at this in a different way: The entitlement complex in Steem could just be a symptom of a non balanced frustrated social media platform. Because why should we have to focus more on the social aspect than on the media?
Slowish reader here too, I write quite okay at ~80 WPM probably, if my mind can keep up with it than that's another thing. :P
Interactions do take quite a long time though, like in this post for instance. I'm hoping to personally have more time for this in the future than spending all of it on sideprojects and planning and organizing them out. Might need an assistant for that soon.
I love the engagement and interaction on Steem though, even at times like these where the incentives are low I feel good about having been consistent and worked hard to grow my account in followers so there is always some engagement going on, I think more authors should strive towards that than focusing too much on the quality of their content or how much time it took them to create it. Less disappointment may occur then too. :P
That would be therapeutic, allowing yourself to put lower quality content on steem ;)
has anyone ever figured out what he was on while doing this clip? :D
If I remember correctly he wanted to be memed thus filmed it in green screen on purpose. :thinking:
I agree with you. I have to dedicate time to comment and especially respond to those who leave comments on my post. Today is a day that I have set aside for commenting. (:)
