RE: TIL TIL stats - TIL about the TIL success on Steemit

in #til8 years ago

As to the science posts and discussion. I read them with great interest and always try to up vote them when I happen to see one. However, you and a few others really know your stuff. You also in particular seem well versed in critical thinking so you don't seem to make appeal to authority, and generalization type mistakes. Thus, it can be very difficult to give you a good comment other than. "That is very cool, thank you for writing this" I don't want you to stop. I truly enjoy your posts and the posts of others. I up vote them, though I may not always comment. When I have something I think might be worthy of saying I promise you I will.

Sort:  

Agreed a lot of the science posts are very well done. They strike the right balance between being interesting but not being sensationalist (or just as bad completely boring and dry like a journal). Sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed just putting "fantastic job" for the Nth time lol! I suspect that is a reason a lot of people don't actually comment. There is also the issue that we seem to have a bit of a lull in activity - possibly a combination of the price and time of year.

This is however something very hard to assess. It is probably hidden in the number of votes, but it is not clear to me how to distinguish it from the bots.

Thanks for this very kind message! That's probably of the nicest I have ever read!

I was not actually focusing on my own posts, but most on generalities regarding given categories and to get actually data (there should be 2 or 3 of my posts in these hundreds of posts). I know my posts are generally not the ones attracting the longest discussions (and it is fine, don't worry) as my goal is more to share information and make it accessible to the general audience (via Steemit).

Anyhow thanks for your comment (and for your interesting posts which I appreciate the reading) :)
