RE: What happened to being genuine?

Well to be honest I don’t even know what posh is about! And maybe stupid of me, I don’t care.

We also know or should know is that the number of followers do mean shit here. Most are bot accounts, other have stopped looong time ago.

Genuine comments I do prefer over upvotes, believe it or not. Just like most I do have a upvoting bot configured, but leaving enough VP to also do some manual curation.
Most people on the bot are there trying to increase my curation rewards.
And probably there are some in there with is more or less a vote exchange.

I have never checked if a person did upvote a post back or not. I do check however if I leave a comment if there was interaction there. If there is any interaction after a undefined number of genuine comments, I do know that this person is just posting for the rewards and will quickly loose my interest.
I will also try to reply on comments I do receive, which is easy for me because there are close to none 😳.
While I don’t read all your posts, I am blown away about how you do take the time to reply on all the genuine comments you di receive!

Cheers,
Peter

At my stage...every comment I get is genuine I guess...because I have nothing to offer. I think if you want to get a little of that type of energy you could loose the power...I guess...

After the curation trail finishes and I see the notifications...I just check to see the replies. I check how much I make though...but I'm mostly all about the replies.

Same here. I would be lying if I wrote that I don't care about the earnings, but I do love the interaction! That's more a drug for me than the potential income.
Just not enough time at the moment to engage a lot, which is a pity!

That happened to me once. We did a mash up of a song I wrote on Hive Open Mic community...the whole community had hundreds of post mentioning my account and with comments on my old post... at that time work was hectic and at the end I didn't get to reply some of the posts and comments.

I still feel a type of way when I post in the community.

and yeah, this place means a lot to me so I try to take the time to care and appreciate everything around it, especially my own account and the projects I have running here.

Yeah comments are one of the few remaining ways to tell if an action is genuine or not these days which in turn and it being
a proper comment like this can turn the other actions of the user genuine too such as upvotes and follows.

I've been wondering about how one could enforce it or build a front end on top of hive where manual actions would be the only way to use it but there's definitely not an easy solution in that front yet.

Your post another I did read today. Did trigger me to write a post a about the quality of a post.
I am not going to post to the link to that article here because that would be spamming.
If you are interested in it you know where to find it.
The spoiler alert is that quality can’t be defined objective and is always subjective.
Did want to write as comment but that would have been waaaay tooo loong 😁
