If the platform you came from was so bad, then at least start counting activity from the moment you started your copy cat version of the original.
I joined Steemit, a platform I am not active on either, not Hive.
For those who really mean what they say (for example in a comment on this post) when they talk about lack of engagement, those who say a comment is more important than a vote, try Whaleshares.
No one will deny we had a rough start, plenty of people were there, when there was as much room to scam and spam as on Steemit, of course they left when we made it not worth the trouble to spam and scam.
If all the people who just post and hope to get rewarded without engaging stay at steemit and hive and other copies, and the ones who value engagement join Whaleshares, we can have a great time.
Some details:
- tips (rewards) are instant
- posts get tipped, but many earn more from tips received on comments
- you will get comments on your post, promised
- no downvoting
- don't like what you see? mute
- don't want a moron to comment on your post? post to "friends only". A friends only post can be tipped by everyone (with (encrypted) memo if you want) but only people on your friends list can comment
- passionate about a certain topic? Join a pod, or create a pod. As with "friends only" posts, only pod members can posts a comment but everyone can tip
- and last but not least, you get a daily reward. The more stake you hold the higher your reward. This means even people who don't want to post or engage, can earn by staking.
Because we already divide the reward pool, based on the stake members hold, there is no need for posting crap to self-reward, or start a vote circle. That is a habit people don't break easily. So trained to behave in a certain way on other platforms to grab as much of what they believe to be theirs, they need some time to adjust to the relaxed environment Whaleshares is.
Give it a try! There is room for everyone, but engagement is what is being rewarded most.
For those who were present at the start of Whaleshares, please don't compare the situation before HF4 with the current one. Those are different worlds.
