Are you an Engager or Just Here for the Reward?
Hello and welcome to my page. I'm @daniky and this is my 42nd entry to the #pobdaily challenge, an initiative of @marvinix and @dwayne16. Kindly move on with me as i share briefly how my day went and as well charge us to improve on our level of engagement on the post of other Authors of this financial ecosystem.
My day was splendid overall. It all started with a heavy rainfall in the early morning till 9am when the sun set on the sky. The moment the sun appeared, there was warmth and the ground was able to absorbed the fallen water at a very high speed.
Towards evening moment, the warmth sustained the moment till night where cold set in again. Pardon me, i couldn't take lot of photos for the day as my mobile phone battery was completely down due to the absence of power supply. That's the situation we've found ourselves in my country. We supply electricity to neighboring countries and can't boast of a steady power supply for a full week.
So to my point today. I've noticed one situation in hive that is almost becoming a lifestyle to many users on the platform. This issue is known as the "rate of engagement on the posts of other authors".
It's of no doubt that hive is one of the biggest decentralized blogging platform ever. The way it's built is in such a way that rewards our supportive activities in addition to rewarding us on our post. It's built on "interaction" as this is the key to a better network and financial ecosystem. So, you may as well be rewarded when you engage on the post of other authors.
As an author, what gives me joy is not just the post reward but the level of engagements i receive on my post. Basically proper feedback that's said to be interactive and this gives me the sense of joy that my post was been read. How will you fill when you keep making posts without getting feedbacks on your post? If I'm not mistaking, i believe you'll definitely feel unhappy provided you put in lots of energy in creating a quality content that worths reading by users on the platform. In some ocassions, you may receive massive upvotes from diverse curation trails without a feedback on the nature of your work. This can be encouraging for someone whose purpose for creating a content is mainly for its reward alone, and quite unsatisfactory for someone that did it merely for people's read or consumption and interactive feedback.
To this point, I'll suggest we work more on engaging on the post of others within and outside the platform because that is what the communities and hive is built on. The more interaction is fostered, the more connections is creates amidst users and this will help build the kind of community we all desire.
How strong is your level of interaction? Do you take time to engage on the post of others or you just feel it's enough for you to keep making a post without taking a moment to interact with authors? Please lets check ourselves, make amends and work together to promote this financial ecosystem by becoming and engaging with other users on the platform wherever possible. Thank you.
I'm using this medium to appreciate @marvinix and @dwayne16 for this wonderful initiative and also wish to invite interested #hiveans to be part of this daily challenge.
@daniky
I interact as much as I can (and I always try to help a lot of people with my upvotes and comments), but I also look to earn good rewards.
I can attest to this as well @wiseagent. You're doing great and this is a good landmark you've built over the moment. Good rewards are definitely coming your way because it's a law of nature that whoever watereth shall be watered as well. Kudos and thank you for the wonderful feedback.
I try to be an engager.
You are one, too 👌
Oh what a privilege! I'm glad to have your feedback @zuerich. If I'm to start by listing the number of engagers i know, you're definitely my number One on the list. I'm Challenged by your high level of consistency and selflessness. You're One in a million sir. !LUV
@zuerich, you've been given LUV from @daniky.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. Daily limits change soon, check @LUVshares (1/3)
Oh wow, thanks a lot for this great compliment! 🙏🏻
Let‘s together make Hive better and better 🚀
You deserve the compliment @zuerich. I'm one of the users you've motivated so far and I'm indeed, grateful. 3months ago i made an appreciation post where i wrote you a letter. I guess you didn't get it. Here's the link to the post dedicated to you. Kindly go through it😊.
😮 Indeed. Though I upvoted your post, I didn‘t read it. Shame on me!
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 and have a great day!
😀Aaww, no problem sir @zuerich. I thought as much too. Thank God at least you've gone through the post now and I'm happy you did. You don't deserve any shame because this can happen to anyone. It's a normal experience and thanks for acknowledging the post. Please do have a wonderful moment as well too.
Engagement is the heart of hive content creation. You can't just focus on making content and not interact with others. Your content will lack viewership and interaction as well.
I know this very well because when I go on my busy weeks and only find time to post without engaging, my rewards get low.

That's the fact. One thing we need to look at is that what if there's nothing like a curation trail and curators decides to constantly post and upvote only themselves since there's no level of engagement on their posts from other users, it'll definitely affect the system. That's why we need more interactions from all ends as this is the basis of the blockchain. Thank you for meaningful comment and do have a wonderful moment @young-boss-karin
Maybe I should this a charge to the hivean,yes it is base on the content of this post of yours.but on a lighter note ,let me be sincere with you that you have really spoken well.
An Author get motivated not only on the rewards that comes in via content that he posted in the platform,but via the level of engagement on their post,cause this show that such content as be read and digest well by the user's.
Thou just like your question, many are here for the rewards and don't care maybe their content is be checked nor read at all,in as much they get upvote in it they are fine and I must be honest with you,it is a means of getting themselves limited to a certain level,cause it wont help them to know where to improve.
Finally let me say ,it should not also be all about engaging on content Posted by the authors,but the quality of the content needs to be checked,just like I most times I read and digest the Message been passed by the Author,just like yours now,I must be honest with you I can keep on going on and on, cause their is a lot to actually touched on this issue,but let me save the day,by saying, quality engagement is a way of motivating author and giving room for them to see the level at which they need improvement.
Keep the good work going
Well loaded and elaborated. Thank you for the quality feedback @pthker2010. What you've stated so far is the fact. I hope this post gets to as much as possible hiveans because these are issues that needs to be treated amicably. I hope situations get better soon. Thank you once more and it's my pleasure to have you here.
