Ha! I know you too well to ever consider that "criticism" - and even if it was... it was of the constructive kind, so! haha!
I was just in "expression" mode - so wasn't really looking at the various initiatives - ALL of which are fantastic. Have taken first prize a couple of times with @abh12345 - but as mentioned, my focus is somewhat elsewhere.
However... initiatives aside - people should have a will to engage naturally. There should not always need to be a prize or carrot dangled in their faces in order to make it happen....
just my opinion.

Ahahahaha. We agree on that absolutely. How can they not figure out that it is MUCH in their best interests to engage? To me, it's as plain as can be. Want to be successful on Hive? Engage others. Simple.
Galen had a really, really good deal this weekend. It offered 4 1000 HP delegations for a month for writing a post and engaging others. It was stupid successful and I followed 9 new people out of it. How many will last 6 months? Hopefully one or two. Sad commentary.
Just way too many people get bored or not rich or not famous and move on. Not a great deal we can do about it, except keep trying.
So. I saw a post this weekend that featured 11 selfies. Two solo and 9 introducing other family members with her. That's more selfies than I've taken. Period :) I don't predict really good things for that author.
