I have upvoted other peoples posts and comments 81,000 times in five years.
- As I looked at my Stats from the last five years, I was proud of the 3000 posts and the 22,000 Comments, those two things are nice.
But I really smiled when I saw the 81,000 upvotes!
I must admit that I was amazed.
You can count those cakes, that’s five years.
But that’s not what’s important.
Nope..it’s not the cakes or the 3000 posts.
It’s the 21,000 comments and 81,000 upvotes!
These are what’s important!
- Those represent Engagement
- Those represent me acknowledging the content of others in the Hive community.
- I am not a whale who showers huge upvotes..
- But I can shower people with the vote that I have!
- And I can Comment to provide attention, acknowledgement and feedback to other humans on Hive
- We all have our roles on Hive, the Whales give big upvotes, the Content creators provide their talent, but the other fish can provide our upvotes and our comments.
- Both are nourishing : upvotes, comments.
- They are like attention, acknowledgement and feedback.
- I can swear to you as a content creator that the upvote button is very powerful, so use it, and distribute the wealth on Hive.
Engagement and Reciprocity
- I think Hive is social media, which means being social and interacting.🧵🦁
- And while we all can’t be Whales and make people smile and happy from huge upvotes, we can still upvote and comment, to support the content of others.
- Even if cars, flowers, rainbows or excel spreadsheets aren’t what your interested in..
- they are someone else’s interest..
- And it’s a normal social grace to be polite and acknowledge their joy.
- And Joy is sometimes contagious, like a smile
- And I can tell you from my five years here, that I have become interested in things I didn’t know I would enjoy until I learned about them here!
- Especially when you see them through the joy of another persons eyes.
- So reach out and interact, be social, nurture someone else today with your attention, your comments and your upvotes.
Last Words
- I like to say that upvotes are like the Rain, and that Comments are like the Sun .
- We need both to grow.
- So make it rain
- Then make it Shine
- And help make people Grow!

Title: 81,000 UpVotes: You need to give to receive on Hive
Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha
I’m not that impressed to be honest.
Those are some seriously impressive stats. You keep yourself very busy here.
Thank you, it is a good community with good incentives to build something special for the future.
That it is.
True. I hope the truth comes out, but I hope he doesn’t get killed in jail also.
Those are very impressive statistics.
I think you have really embraced the idea of engaging with others here.
Good job.
You have really made a lot of progress in this five years.
Everyone should indeed be engaging actively in upvoting and commenting.
I'll seeks means to enable me to engage more
Thank you and great idea.
I love the analogy of rain and sunshine. When the sun shines, people's face light up. Hive being a social media platform means that engagement is key for growth. We have to learn how to be social :)
Thank you.
You're most welcome!
Very impressive.
