Well you're the king of engagement man, I'm pretty sure that your comment level will get rewarded even if you don't use Twitter at all, by just engaging in content :D

Sort:  

It has been what I'd consider kinda quiet, since joining Hive, under my posts. Still working, trying to change that, and hoping things get better. I can't really take part in most of the initiatives presented to the community due to the fact this entity isn't connected to traditional social media outlets like Twitter. I'll still be rewarding comments on my own and of course responding because I usually have a lot of fun with these folks. And yeah I'll still be around yapping under posts when I have a moment. It's tough though to get around and talk when producing the content can take an entire day.

I think if more people found out they can get paid to be entertained here, and if we can attract dedicated consumers who are happy to earn from curation rewards (I'd love to change that term to 'consumer rewards') and comment upvotes, that would be a game changer. Look at Youtube. The creators aren't also doing all the commenting. Quality work takes quality time to produce.

I do appreciate you folks offering initiatives and incentives. I just hope things don't get even quieter now around my world since my work won't include what some might think aren't the proper tags. Maybe I'm just overthinking.

Playing devil's advocate, @notweetsleft is available on Twitter... Why not give Twitter 10 minutes of your day to promote steem? Play the game, might find it fun man.

I do promote my work on the outside. I've mentioned the importance of doing so for over three years. The content consumers are typically the ones who share links and that's free advertising for us. In a post from years ago I called them "link sharing content consumers" and pointed out the shortage and importance of that crowd. Encouraging folks to spread the things they like to their followings is far more productive than if I were to connect a twitter account to this name and share links to a following that account doesn't have.

As I said though, I do push my work to outside eyes, especially the art and humor. For instance, if the post was a 'hit' and people seemed to enjoy it, I'll forward the link to people I know and trust with large followings then ask them to share, then it gets passed around and I'm not spamming my own following, plus my pseudonym and privacy is being respected. In the early days I used Stumbleupon and drove potentially thousands of new eyes to the old platform every month. That service is now defunct so I've been looking for alternatives that are at least as effective. I have my ways, man.

I share Hive links like crazy on Twitter.... Artist in Canada too. Https://Twitter.com/Offgrid_TV

I don't use or have a following on Twitter. I'd be sharing links to myself, nobody would see them, and I could potentially be rewarded for that? I promise you, if I did it, it would be incredibly dishonest of me. Not interested.

No. I’m just saying it’s good to have some times. As an Artist, just another place to show your work. Nothing do with rewards.

I don't really know how Twitter works. Without a following, who would I be showing my work to?
