One thing I've noticed is there is no interaction on post. Sometimes I think most post don't even get read. Curation trails could be a factor to this, I'll admit I'm part of a trail. Sometimes I'll post to get some hp which is not much, but hey every little bit counts. The times I do take the time and put together a well thought out post. Yeah I might get some votes from the trail, but I feel as it anyone is reading the post at all. This can be frustrating, hence the reason why it might be a lack of quality post. People are realizing their hardwork is being overlooked. Why waste the time and effort? It seems as if its becoming like typical social media sites where just a like is sufficient, and no other interaction is needed. This is the result of morphing blogging with social media. People like simple and easy. Why do the work when you can get to same benefits for less. Hope my rambling makes some sense.

I think you are dead-right.
Seems like most social media is trending to the comments section. Users post mostly links or short ideas and the engagement is in long chains of comments on the topic presented. I think there is a lot of value in that, but the STEEM/HIVE community is very much focused on the idea of all the value being in the content of the post and less perceived value in the conversations in the comments.
If you look at reddit, twitter,FB, the engagement and best content is in the comments.
All that said, I have no idea what the solution to the problem is, so I'm just throwing out thoughts/ideas to contribute to the subject... I'm in the comments :-)
From what I be seeing people tend to flock to the post of the whales. With the Hope's of getting valuable upvotes. I also see that most of those guys don't reciprocate the love. They could get up to 50+ Hive and give no upvotes in the comments. The system needs work, and it's been like that since Steem.
I can relate man. I understand and no one who is active here will denial these points raised. I want to make money and have a better social experience. I don't think that's too to ask.
Hopefully being that Hive is fairly new and most people aren't using the site yet, things will change. You always write some good blogs since Steem. Are you still on Cent?
