Look at all the bot comments or giveaway posts with hundreds of comments.
Yes. Nonsense. You will notice that on my posts, there aren't many bot calls. They happen, but not too often :)
As my upvote is rather small, I'm quite new and still trying to improve my hive engagement, I'll 'reward' the athor with a comment.
This is the way to do it. And if you think about being in any community, the value comes in many forms depending on what resources an individual has. An individual with no money, can still add value with time and skill for example. However, someone can also choose not to add anything, but take what they can.
Those challenges can help people build engagement as well as habits :)
Didn't really think about it that way but yes, it's true in real life aswell. People can contribute to a community / organization /... in a lot of different ways: financially, spending their time, giving ideas, using their network, etc
