I have no idea whether Im an intro or extro, I speak because my mouth has no backspace and I engaged because my fingers knows where the edit button is, hehehe. I read whatever posted in the community and try my best to engaged and I don't care about the rewards (oohh I got few commentrewarder transfer from friends) all those tokens which make me curious what's that for?
I comment on your post sometime but I didn't see your comments on other posts in the community, so I skip to comment on yours for sometime too. I thought that you don't need my unnecessary comments which usually full of rainbow something smelly and made of gas thing.
One thing that I agree with you, engagement always an issue since the first day I joined in 2018 (I'm having my hivebirthday soon) no matter how many initiatives made by communities to make people engage more, there's always for the prizes and rewards. Maybe because there's so many extrovert around? they read but they won't comment? I made 13K comments (hivebuzz noted it) and sometimes I forgot which posts I have read and commented on. That's the only way I can contribute and engaged rather than create a post myself. I did that on the previous platform, hehehe.
have a wonderful year!
Much of the time, I have very little idea what all the extra comments and robotic votes are about, but I do feel that the amount of engagement on Hive seems to be getting less and less with every year that passes.
Myself, I am almost to my 8th Hive anniversary and I do remember in the past that people had a lot more conversations on posts than they do now. Whereas I really enjoy writing — that is, to create the original posts — I also enjoy the discussion of topics and sometimes I miss that there isn't as much of it around anymore.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by and sharing your opinion, and you have a wonderful 2025 as well!
