Not sure what to comment on here, not my place as a small fish. It's not a new problem, we need an Activity Meter in the UI to signal people where to engage. That's my unlicensed opinion. Make a Ring around the ICON and let it be grey, yellow, purple or green as a signal. That will be gamed for sure, but the game will boost the platform for sure.

Not a bad idea. There are many ways things can be gamified.
Whatever is done, it is ultimately to draw attention to the idea of engaging. And this falls to everyone.

I tried to be extremely active in comment sections for a short period of time back on STEEM. After reading an interesting post, I felt like assisting by adding my two cents to every interesting comment below it.
But people really hated that I did that, @Exyle even blocked me for that. I tried to make the point of making an effort to drive engagement, but since comments get upvotes, people felt offended by it and declared it spammy.
Personally, I think smart posts should have thousands of comments and the 'Genesis' post should be able to benefit by getting a cut of the comment rewards. That might be a good way to incentivize a change in comment culture because you really do have a positive impact on the success (rewards) of s post by engaging with it in the comment sections.
But what do I know, maybe these ideas are already worn out and not smart at all.
If the author of the post is getting a cut of the comment rewards, isnt there less incentive to comment?

I totally don't think so, rather none is engaging to get juicy comment upvotes, and even if, which is a big iffy, then sharing xy% with the post isn't a big deal at all.
But it opens up a lot of doors and creates a new logical pathway to the old web platforms where the value of content is measured in the created engagement and that is what people are therefore specialized in.
Comment sections on Youtube are basically small universes and totally enjoyable in their depth. Knowing about the importance of that, the content creator is adjusted to stir up conversations down there. Ain't that exactly what you ask for to happen on Leo as well?
YouTube has the same problem as we do. In fact, I would make the case they are no more successful at it than we are. The major difference is that YouTube has a couple billion users. Leofinance is around 500.
But the percentage who comment as compared to those who actually view a video is low.

Youtube has an insane amount of TV & youth consumption, we have 0 of both :P
Makes it really hard to compare the raw numbers.
They are huge. But they also have the content. We are changing that. However, to really be a threat, we have to have viable options. We havent gotten to that point yet.
