Well that's the whole benefit of actually engaging in other's post- it's as much about our benefit as theirs as we grow with the education and entertainment factor, while their accounts grow with more income and followers and that's what I say every time I reach the top 20 of the Engagement League by @abh12345, I don't do it for the kudos or to win the numbers, I do it for the plain and simple enjoyment and benefits of it...
@wil.metcalfe I saw a video with a young guy talking about Hive and he said that there were essentially 3 type of users and one of them he called a lurker and described them as the people that are here lurking in the background, upvoting and reblogging other posts but not really contributing by creating their own content.
As some one who sometimes does not want to create and upload content all the time (maybe I don't want to bore people/think that it should only by quality over quantity/might be too depressed/may be too busy IRL...whatever), I find this term to quite insulting and guess what, it's now all over the internet for trillions of people to watch it.
BUT the most stupid thing in this guy saying that, is the fact that every day I hear on hive and twitter about how much we need more curators as curation plays just as an intrinsically important role as content creation does.
So good on you for creating this great initiative but have you thought about teaming up with Asher @abh12345 in the Hive Engagement League at all.
To come at the interaction and engagement from both ends would give it all so much more power if you were to team up.
As the old adages go. Strength in numbers and many hands make light work.
Only a suggestion- just chucking my 2 cents in...
Absolutely! Funny you should mention it but I (just the other day) joinedUP with Asher’s @abh12345 Engagement Leauge! I’m still learning all about it but yeah! It’s something I’m aware of now!
You know I’m allergic to negative connotations and labels like that too. The thing to keep in mind... the people who are gonna think this way will already be attracted to that sort of messaging... but people like you and I will only be repelled.
Thank you for your encouraging comment and dropping by Comet Central (HQ)! Thank you as well for reading about #CometWeek!
I couldn’t agree more... focusing on the connection in the comments is beneficial to everybody and I sincerely hope that more people begin to see the implicit value hidden away here within the comments. ☄️
