Yes, of course, having people around is important. Two posts ago I brought it up. 85 comments there.
I've been talking about this for years. Simply focusing more on the consumers role, since they are the most important. Attracting paying consumers; people who are actually interested in supporting content, and having fun, would be a wise move.
And I cringe every single time someone says, "Rewarding content is simply allocating inflation." So many people ruin the experience with lines like that. You can't sell that line to anyone. If rewarding content is driving a car, so I tell someone I'm driving, but they say, "No. You're not driving. You're allocating fuel to the engine." Well, yeah, but people aren't robots and that's not how we talk, so it doesn't sound very interesting. What's happening behind the scenes or under the hood doesn't describe to full experience.
But I don't see how engagement alone will raise the price without paying consumers entering the mix. I do know that a vibrant atmosphere full of interesting content and people scrambling around everywhere will give a potential paying consumer a reason to buy. No offense but they won't buy a post like this. Not saying it's a bad post. It's simply designed for the internal market.
I could talk about this stuff for days. The business side of things is one of my favorite topics. And it's difficult to build business upon new technology and concepts mostly foreign to your average online consumer.
This specific article would not bring in new people, but I definitely believe that engagement has the power to move us towards new heights, if done properly and if we boost the overall engagement a lot.
I think engagement is one of the absolute most important ingredients, and we've been missing that ingredient for several years. The current users has to pave the way for newcomers. We need to set a new standard in terms of engagement. If and when that happens, new people will also engage, and that is what will attract outsiders to join in and participate as well.

Genuine engagement is important. I think if my work would have been silent all these years, you wouldn't be talking to me right now. Produced a lot of art and entertainment, and that stuff only exists so people look and react.
I wasn't knocking down your post by the way. Every product serves a purpose and has a specific market. That's another thing some folks forget. All those posts with the generic information that can already be googled before they publish for instance. It's nearly impossible to engage with that stuff. The human element/personality needs to be applied, then people have someone to talk to. So many pieces to the puzzle and if one is missing or if someone misses the mark on the market they're targeting, they'll be met with silence, naturally.
That's actually a really good point and definitely something people should think of, and make sure to remember when they produce content.
Thanks for pointing that out the way you did, I appreciate it.

Here. That's taking some trade secrets, talking about them, and applying them all at the same time. Makes such a big difference.
