RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! ๐
Thanks for the mention! I am so glad that the prize pool is so deep, because the competition has become very intense! The real benefit to engagement I think is being seen, especially in the curation communities where featured authors are getting people looking at their posts and interacting. This is really good for the platform and user retention, getting users rewarded is part but not the whole picture, getting them tied into the community is the next part of the secret sauce!
beautifully said sir, it's obvious why you are moving up so fast! I've really enjoyed our conversations this week and look forward to many more!
I could write whole books on the still unanswered questions from your comments to me! You are a true conversationalist! It always seems like you are really interested, and I can't believe you would fake it all week for the 6 bucks or whatever you win here!
This week I will have to start asking you more questions!
nonono I have nothing to say! haha! seriously though sir you know the love we have as Believers, which isn't ours, but it flows through us and that's what I have for people and am sincerely interested in them. It has also increased my prayer list significantly! lol.
The truth is I'm just having a blast and it's not work it's fun and interesting. If I had to fake anything I wouldn't do it.
Agreed 111%!
The prayer list is fantastic, the interaction with real people. I find that it is a special brand of pioneering, creative person that finds their way onto an experimental platform like this. Just the type of people that need powerful prayer warriors working in their favor!
howdy again my friend and vanquisher sir ecoinstant! perfectly said sir, I couldn't agree more and wish I could have stated it like that! lol.
Tell me good sir Janton, what does your day look like? Do you help out around the house? Are you searching your vast lands for wildlife? I was very impressed by your bird pictures over on your blog!
well sir, I usually spend a couple of hours outside working and the rest on steemit since this competition, but of course no one wants to do that for very long so I will step back at some point.
our property has so much work that needs done on it that I could spend full time working out there.
the birds come to us, whenever I go out they keep away, we do see deer, armadillos, tons of rabbits, coyotes and then all the birds.
Fantastic! That is so cool that you have such vast wilderness to reign over ;p
I do love Texas, I have been to different parts and it is a lot of fun to visit, and the people are quite nice. Now where about is Northern Texas, is that in that square part on the top? What cities are up there? We are thinking about doing a birding convention in Texas, but everyone wants to go somewhere near Austin Tx, which is not very far north if I recall my geography correctly.
@ecoinstant I completely agree with you and its amazing to see your numbers. I am a huge fan of Asher's league and now that you are involved I think we will have another major driver of enthusiasm for not only the league but also for engagement in general! Its awesome to see and I love that you jumped right to the top! The weeks ahead will be fun and I agree completely that user retention is the number 1 issue (and that starts with engagement no doubt!) Nice to meet you :)
And a pleasure to meet you!
I've been sneaking up over the last month, three weeks ago I didn't see myself, two weeks ago I appeared, last week I got my first steem for no-self voting!
Enthusiasm is my clarion call, I try a lot of things but I go at them with my all! Great engagement, like we were talking with Janton, is not a chore its a pleasure! And if my pleasure is rewarded, and good for the platform, what more could one ask for?
I see a lot of excited younger users starting to find out about and participate in this engagement league. This thing might turn the tide on the low numbers, having fun pays on/in steem!
@ecoinstant I agree with you completely! To me this is "the" place to be. Most of the people that are serious contributors seem to want to be here and most of them are really helping to grow and encourage the newer/smaller folks. That will the be lifeblood going forward, so I'm thrilled to see we are in complete agreement! :)
Hey, since we are having a conversation, an 'engagement' ;p
how do you feel about the currently 'open' system of steemit (I have referred to it as the 'everything' drawer) versus future possible 'closed' communities on each d.app or token (SMT). Do you think this will increase or decrease engagement?
I think of this in terms of how people react to certain content, especially zappl, steepshot, or even some types of poetry, as being not 'full' enough, or 'low-effort'.
Interested in hearing your thoughts about the future of this neat platform of possibilities!
I still consider myself new even though I've been here since Dec... But my thinking is the rewards are too concentrated at the top for steemit to be anything huge. In order for them to be distributed more, I think the price will have to go lower or a new buyer to emerge.
I know Steemit INC seems to be primarily focused on the tech part of the platform, but feel they have seriously missed an opportunity to encourage true engagement. The ones that have survived in my class are the ones that are unique, but many many have gone. I'm hoping one day they will "hire" people like Asher through a nice delegation to get down and encourage the newbies to get involved. So far he has some help, but from very few people with much power.
I'm hoping that the smart tokens come out as another currency that will spur some stick activities here. A good example could be steem monsters. If they can give their own rewards in SM bucks for instance, I think it would make that game even more fun. (and attract even more people to the platform)
I am one that is encouraged about the SMTs, but I also recognize that they are very past due and may never actually arrive. I am not too concerned about the low quality of the fringe apps, because my thinking is that if they can attract the right people then those things fade away.
In some ways they've attracted some stars, but I hope they wake up and keep them here too! People like the top 5 here in this game. We need you to be energized and spreading the love here regularly!
Just my 2 cents :P ... I welcome any reply back for sure :D
