RE: If upvotes ceased to exist today, will you still be on Steem?
Nowadays I do not get valuable upvotes, only a few cents, but I do not (or rarely) get real, human interaction either. I am already considering leaving the Steem blockchain.
Actually, I left the Steem blockchain a few times, but I always returned to it so far.
We will see what will happen, but many people are leaving the Steem blockchain.
Nowadays the number of the daily active users is decreasing.
The problem is the selfishness and greed. Many people are focusing on posting blog posts, but only a few people cares about other people's blog posts. You can see here that the number of the posts in the first week of 2020 is 59 675, but the average number of comments is only 3.38. Very big selfishness and greed.
Unfortunately this whole blockchain is doomed by its own users.
The users need to change their behaviors, otherwise this platform will be wiped out soon.

Damn I'm sorry about that. I think autovotes have made the whole thing impersonal and people would just rather drop their blogs and not interact with people.
Then again, one way of reaching out to people is through the communities on discord.
Personally, I like to meet people and that means know a thing or two about them. I also share stuff about my life and that makes it easier for people to connect. It is what makes Facebook so appealing.
While xplosive might be right in some ways, he isn't entirely. This issue of interaction thing is only a steemit issue, some tribes do pay a lot of attention to interraction within them and try to encourage it...I know steemit is the general condenser, but without these tribes making their own economy and fostering engagement, steemit will be very hollow today.
Engagement is very tied to incentives here, i guess its just a human thing, when steem was high i dont think a lot of people complained of engagement, they complained more of too many comments sef, lol, most that didnt make sense
