What's the thinking behind this exactly? I think it takes a lot longer than a month to really start seeing results from regular commenting. If that isn't the case then I am doing something really wrong because I think I comment quite a bit each week. I'd have to find some kind of tool to check to be sure. For example, I read maybe half of Tasks posts. He just does so many it is hard to keep up. I have been doing that and commenting on them for probably a good year now. I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand (maybe two) the number of times he has come and commented on one of my posts though. I don't have a problem with that, it's his time to do what he wants. I'm just saying putting in the effort doesn't always net the result.
Just looking at the past 7 days from all your content...Seems to be attracting a decent amount of upvote and comments. I'm not giving this example as a way to judge whether Task shows up and comments on anyone's blogs, it's more big picture thinking...
The more comments you make, the more people are attracted to your content.

Right, I wasn't trying to single out Task as bad thing. It was just the first example I could think of. I think that happens with a lot of the whale accounts. They clearly busy so it just doesn't happen they way you would hope. There are probably any number of people I could have used as an example. The sad thing is, a lot of my votes are auto I think, so I don't think the ratio really adds up. Especially when you look at what some other accounts are making. I think I had a post the other week that had close to 100 comments and it made crap in rewards. Again, I get that is all part of the game, I have been here long enough I don't really expect anything, but I can see why newer users get so confused or frustrated.
I think that's an excuse if whales say 'they are too busy'....We run a witness, develop countless projects on Hive, plus our offchain businesses and still have time to engage and show up. And it's frustrating at times, because anything CTP seems to do, generally is ignored by the top people on chain save a few awesome people.
I completely understand the frustration. lol
But again, I can never (just like you said) rely on anyone or any votes, all I can do is control my effort here.
I've actually never been told that by a whale, I just think it is the general perception. Yeah you guys are a perfect example. I know it is the bear and all, but with 50 comments, I'd expect this post to have earned more than $20.
Yeah it's frustrating, I see a lot more people on Hive do a lot less for this blockchain and get rewarded much more. But alas, that's not my decision on how much I get for my posts.
All we can ever focus on is our effort. And I've got faith, it'll all pay off down the road :)
Appreciate you man, thanks for coming by the blog!
No problem! I always enjoy checking out your stuff! Your group does do an exceptional amount of good for the blockchain. I hope you get the return that you deserve one day.
