Thanks @brandonfrye for the great post.
I like your third point because most of the people perform the first two steps, but they don't follow the third step mean engage with your following and that is the bad habit because If users respect the quality contents with the comments and upvotes, then the Content creator should give value to the comments of the users by responding back that they receive.
The best part is that you give respect to your followers and I like your this habit. You deserve every comment and upvote that you get from all the users on the Steemit, Brandon.
best of luck.
Exactly, that's why it's my biggest pet peeve. We don't create posts and video just for our own amusement or simply for rewards. We should be doing them for our following. And the best way to find out what your following is wanting is to reach out to them and speak with them in the comments.
Thanks for your kind compliments. I strive to get back to as many people as possible. And those I miss throughout the week I usually get to in the Comment Catch-Up each week. I really appreciate you as well as everyone else who gives me great feedback and comments. Thank you!
