In hive most moderators and curators seek to impose mandatory participation to "support" the posts, because of this users know that they should be commenting with each other (often unspontaneously) just to be on the curators' radar and Due to the fact that our votes are limited, a selection of votes is also involuntarily imposed, (consciously or unconsciously seeking our own benefit $), the ability to earn money in hive is wonderful, but as long as almost mandatory participation in the communities continues to be imposed to have good chances of votes facebook will continue to be much better at the level of real and disinterested interaction (which is the same as many more people on those platforms), regards
That's a good point and part of the reason I think we need to promote the communities here more. Why can't the communities be like that with rewards as a side benefit.
