Yeah its been tough to get engagement as of late. I think at this point in the platform everyone is out trying to prove themselves as creators. Unlike youtube where there are so many people just on there to watch and not to create. Dtube is just in a weird phase right now with users. I think it will change in a year or so.

You're right, but I think it will NOT change. Most creators make video about DTube because they want to receive an upvote DTube, many people (as on YouTube) just want to watch interesting videos not about DTube. So while in the top we see talking heads (without video editing and high-quality picture) who talking nothing(DTube bla bla bla steemit bla bla bla DTube bla bla bla steemit) we will not see viewers on this platform.

I apologize fo bad english )

Thats a great point. We'll see what happens.

I do agree with you that some people are trying to get upvotes by talking about dtube, but what’s good is that dtube also supports non-dtube related content. I see that from my various post which are self-help related or photo/video related or crypto related - these also get support. So all around I think they’re looking for various kinds of content.

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s bound to happen as more viewers come on who are also members. I’m sure YouTube didn’t have a lot of interaction also before.

I think that channel steemit panel, when you go to your options, you should have iconic info like on busy about comments on your posts and also about responds to your comment ect. Because if somebody is not on busy he don't have big information that something happen. Also I when I go to steemit not always check even busy because I use busy only fo that. That will be helpful for people to be noticed about responses

I hope I wrote this in understandable way :D

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I do check it. One of the things I wish was that steemit has a notifications to see tags. Then we can see who’s tagging us and also reply to those.

One of the things I like about Busy is the notifications. I want to see who upvoted and who commented and when.

I love getting comments! They are like little Christmas gifts that I just love so much! I try to make an effort to leave them. I am at 640 heart felt comments now. I do my very best. But yes as we get into the thick of it, it may become more and more difficult.

I think people might be scared to comment is one reason. I have seen many times where people complain about comments that do not contribute. I comment when I feel I have something to contribute. Sometimes the comment is to show appreciation or try and give motivation. I have seen people complain about the appreciation comments though.

Another reason I think people don't comment is that they treat is like its TV. It's taking the place of the TV for many people. I am very guilty of this I have to admit. It is nice at the end of the day to be able to just sit and watch your smiling face and not care or think. I have to think too much when I type. It took me 20 minutes to write this comment with my horrible grammar and typing. I have to proofread it 20 times because my brain moves to damn fast and I can't understand what i just typed. I guess this is one of those contribute comments. Have a great day!
