RE: Talk Channel: "Comment or ask a question"/ Comente o pregunte (week 272) in the WOX
In Steem Bingo, the game is played by whoever completes each category first; those are the winners.
On the other hand, the communities that appear in trend are related to the number of rewards generated within them. I think the solution would be to change the algorithm and have this display generated based on activity, based on the number of posts or comments. This list has been like this since the beginning of Steem.
Considering the community's situation, I've always thought that one of the things we must keep in mind when creating a community is having a good voting power to offer users—at least a decent $1 vote. The rest can be moderated according to needs. Even if we don't think about rewards as such, there should always be an incentive.
Everyone is free to act, but it's important to highlight what you say. Talkchannel keeps you updated.
Communities
It's great if a community can give an upvote of 1 dollar but.. why should the one who starts a community because of a topic of interest, to find like-minded, reward everyone who posts the next piece of trash? Why does the founder/Administrator have to pay for this? Where it the part of building a community together if that's the goal? Since I don't see it and knowing you always receive a 1 dollar upvote means there's no need to invest and we are back at our other thread where a small group invests, builds the luxury and the rest only takes and drains and complaints because they say they have a right to be upvoted.
I would love to give 1 dollar or a higher upvote but no way I would do that to everyone. Why not? Because I don't like most posts I see, I don't see the creativity, I find it shameful how high the upvotes are given for trash because (????) and on the other hand art/good writers are ignored. This platform should be grateful if artists are so stupid as to post here instead of investing in platforms that appreciate their work and give them a chance to talk with like-minded people and sell.
The question @almaguer and others asked many times is:
With what is it that Steemit likes to be associated with? The platform for..... ???? This question is never answered and it is important if you want to promote it.
If Steemit is only for investors it's better to let go of good content and to be happy with every original, entertaining, surprising post no matter if it's a song, a text, a photo, a film or game, a short or long since it's just that bit extra relaxing time if you check the wallet and you can listen to a song or play bingo or memory or read a short message.
Is the intention to be a gaming platform then there's a long way to go but no matter what it wants or likes to be there's one huge problem: lack of communication (comments).
Again I ask: what is the risk, is there a risk, if commenters are upvoted, those who are the motor of the platform like @pennsif suggested in August 2024 or was this all just a joke since in average no SC team cares about comments because they rarely comment themselves.
Sounds like a vicious circle which can't be broken.
The commmuities who appear in trend do not only appear in trend but are also forced upon everyone. We don't see the new posts but the trendy ones. I like to know what the idea behind this is? filling the wallets of the trendy posts first and next being out of VP?
I can't say I am thrilled by the first posts I see, it's not a great example of good content and a wrong way to promote Steemit and stimulate people to write since what they see is not what they are forced to write year after year.
How about setting "new" instead of trending.
Your suggestion might help but this also will mean that more, unnecessary posts will be generated to be shown at the top. Why not showing communities with a clear topic?
It's true that there are many things to consider; first, the support we hope to receive, and second, the curators' criteria for supporting a particular piece of content or user. There's a lot to consider in these aspects.
Regarding posts, we can see a list of new posts among all the tags.
It's not about finding new posts but about being confronted with trending and posts which add bothing to this platforn if it vomes to skills or making it look better.
Why should what is rewarded high be the first what we see? What is the idea behind this?
Why not NEW and feel motivated to read these posts and upvote?
Reading what @wakeupkitty wrote, an idea came to me. What would happen if we suddenly stopped commenting? Before I started to give my opinions, all this was very cold? If nobody starts to give an opinion, nobody moves to comment? Isn't criticism what we need to know the acceptance of what we write? Unless what is written is garbage and it is not necessary to wait for comments.
I make one thing very clear. And this is based on reality. The most successful platforms, not even the platform, are the ones that generate the content. It is generated by the users. Steemit from what I see, they focus a lot on investors (which are not bad), but investors, where there are no users, do not invest. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, whatever platform, the user is the key, they generate the content. And don't forget that these platforms. The interaction between users is brutal, it's constant. Which generates more and more users. It generates more profits. And the joke is that these platforms don't even pay the user. Maybe steemit could better use paid advertising as these platforms do and generate money for other functions such as quality content. Examples of games and networks that were left in oblivion, because users were demotivated, hundreds.
It is normal, moreover, that hundreds of artists come to this platform and see the awards for poor quality and are disappointed. As a result, the artist is lost, but his circle of friends, with artistic affinities, too. Why recommend a social network, with lousy content?
It could be, and I believe it, that the fall of the steem price, to a large extent, depends on the little interaction between users. There is no FOMO, the fear of being left out of something, that desire to know what is going on has been lost. If every time you go back to your account nothing has happened. So what's the point of such a network?

Did you read critics if it comes to Lesson 5 of MWW?
I will read today the last part, which will take me the entire day to check, but already know who wrote and gave tips and who didn't and ignored and is too afraid to speak out or who doesn't show interest in why he isn't read or liked or what can be improved.
It's the same for being updated. Most don't care no matter if it is a new feature, a proposal, voting for witnesses or why the pictures used with a text don't fit.
Did you set a goal for your Steemit jourey?
Having fun, finding like minded can be one.
Mine is not keeping a platform alive against all odds no matter how much I like it since if it comes to it the platform doesn't like me and every comment asks for a reply.
####Who knows asking 6 months to not comment is more succesful than 6 weeks comenting?
