I still wasn't clear on your meaning. 3 months ago I would get 15-20 comments and a small fraction of them would be "Engagement" The rest were so difficult to read, I couldn't tell if they were real attempts or not. Currently, I am getting more comments and the vast majority are real, well spoken and make sense. The conversations continue!

I meant that there are a lot of humans that write the following comment:
Great post!

If you also deduct these nonsense comments you come to the conclusion that the engagement on Steemit is even lower 😥

I get awesome comments, I am one of the lucky ones that have real people, like you, engaging with me

About engagement/comments I have the following hypothesis:
The Steemonians that receive the upvotes are also the ones receiving the comments.
So basically 1-2% of all Steemonians receive 90% of the upvotes as well as the comments.
Most likely the percentage for comments is a bit lower, because some red fish and minnows receive more comments then upvotes.
