I agree that many times we are busy and don't have the time to respond, but as you say we can vote on that comment to let whoever wrote it know that it was read and appreciated, we can also visit their blog and leave them a comment and/or vote, on their last post the theme is to not be indifferent, to give it a name, to other users within this community and on HIVE in general
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yeah exactly! Voting takes no time whatsoever, so there really isn't an excuse for not doing it. Commenting is understandable: either nothing to say or not enough time in the moment. It happens.
I don't think, it is malicious. The problem on Hive is, that many users have delegated their HP to large curation-accounts and are not voting manually. I can imagine that many writers think, no one reads their articles, when 150 votes come through at a time.
For a social platform, Hive is not optimally geared towards social interactions. I don't know, how to fix this, and you are correct in lamenting the fact of someone not responding to a comment, but the Hive experience can be quite isolating sometimes and many people will possibly just do the bare minimum as a consequence.
You are absolutely right, it is not geared towards that, but I think it is a matter of wanting to do it and yes sometimes the experience can be isolating, especially at the beginning, if you think you will have input right away, it is something that takes time, it takes effort it is a matter of discipline perseverance and even luck and that is why I think many people limit themselves to doing the minimum as you have pointed out, thanks for stopping by to comment.
Yes, that is also true. I'm getting back into the writing game here on Hive after a one-year hiatus as just a curator and gamer.
Wish me luck :)
It is not malicious, in that I agree but the content creator is like a little animal that lives on eating likes metaphorically speaking, not giving likes manually or with trail at least is like removing the necessary nutrients that content creators need to live and continue, I think the above applies whether small or large likes monetarily speaking.
Now the moral value of the like I think is why I fight what was raised in this post and in that moral aspect we are all worth the same if we like any article, I have noticed that here in hive many good things are taught and I think that giving likes is right to be part of that behavior because it is part of the interaction.
About hive as a social platform still not optimal in social interactions I think the following, time can solve this when the mass of people who consume the content and are not necessarily content creators, the latter is basically what I notice difference between Web2 and Web3 and that mass of people is what is missing in the food chain so to speak.
Nice to read you both chatting 😎
