Hey good post/video!
In my experience, engagement is the key on any social media platform. Commenting, reblogging, answering with own posts, get on discord and communicate, ... Those are important. Nobody will pop up magically somewhere especially not in trending. It's work like on all other platforms and people who don't understand this will leave the system. That's how it goes on those - compared to centralised media where everyone is signed in - small networks like hive.
The reason why your girl and brother got so much attention is probably because you shared their post on hive and probably on discord with some friends. That's my assumption. Because hundreds of other users don't receive anything except bot comments and votes on their first posts.
Of course a network full of straight guys will interact with a girl more than with a guy. that's how our world is ticking. People are more valuable and more exciting because of their gender. Sad but that's how it is.. it's not mostly about skills and knowledge on social media.
I think your tips are good and important but most of all, people should help people no matter how much they have staked. Bumping posts by our well known whales should be also reduced to have more balanced and realistic rewards. I hate to see that someone received 100hive for a photo and 3 sentences while others are editing 4 hours on a good quality video and receive 10hive and 2 comments from bots. Hive is still stucked in reward hunters and circle jerks. We should be aware of that and tell new users that they can not expect those 100hive upvotes because otherwise they are demotivated and become also greedy like most of our whales.
Rly good and important topic tbh you could make a follow up video with the information of this post to push it out a bit more. I missed those lines in your video. But I personally do not want to create any platform related video anymore. It's just too much content of this on our network and I don't see a value in it anymore except to grab some votes from whales. They will do what they want and we can organize ourselves in communities on discord.
Peace!
The engagement on this post has been amazing! I thank you for such an awesome comment. Funny thing is I’ve gotten several reblogs and posted it in the proper community. I think both of these things have helped tremendously.
I have working tirelessly building a decent following here for almost 3 years now. It really is paying off when it comes to introducing new users with a reblog from me and my friends here.
You have motivated me even more than I already was. I want to make more videos ASAP!
