Ok, well before we have our first coffee of the day, can I ask why you are publishing so late and at a time when you cant respond?
Streemian (making a presumption that you used it) is a decent tool, but I personally think the first 30 minutes in an articles' lifetime are the most important.
Get the decent replies to the top of your blog, reward them all in a 'scale' so that people visiting can see that the good replies are being rewarded - so they will in turn reply with something positive to add. The bots should be out of sight.
The new visitors (who are today's active users, not those voting you big last year) are your potential new followers. If they don't feel engaged, they will remain potential and be harder to persuade next time.
I hope you found my criticism not too harsh with some routes to look at.
Cheers

You are free to ask me whatever question you feel like. I might not answer all of them, but I'll do my best to answer everything! - Always.
Honestly speaking, I've been publishing articles on Steemit for a very long period of time. As I even wrote in this article, I even tried to come up with the best time for me to respond, the best time to catch a potential whale and all that stuff.
What I came to realize rather quickly, is that I should never post anything if I don't feel like it. I publish posts whenever I'm ready for it, no matter the time. - Once I've written it, I just go for that "post" button.
I do understand that this approach might not be the best or the most sustainable. Especially considering the things you mentioned, and truth to be told, I've never really thought about it like that. I do understand that comments and replies. The whole interaction thing, is an important factor that obviously plays a major role in certain aspects, but I've never thought about it in the way you laid it out above.
I've probably been overthinking, without thinking at all in some weird way.. I know, it doesn't sound logic at all, but that's the best guess I have... :D
I've just thought that as long as I respond, the users will see it. I've never thought about doing it at a specific time or anything like that at all. I've never considered the time frame to be of any importance at all in terms of replies. - Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate it!
And I appreciate this discussion too, it's got my brain going early today.
I do remember reading some of your very extensive and well rewarded posts in the past, and as TS says below, it's easy to read the honesty in your work. I could learn some from you here, as I'd like to write with more freedom at times.
Good luck and Steem on :D
Like I said in TS previous post. Comments are a huge token of appreciation. And I definitely appreciate the time you spent writing this.
I am also thankful for the kindness and the warm words. I wish you a good day, I'm off to bed for a few short hours before I'll start my day filled with new ventures! :)
no worries man, thanks for the interaction and sleep well !
