Comment like Hive depends on it

I just saw @theycallmedan is launching the #hivecomments initiative in collaboration with @garybilbao and his @elcomentador project. This is something close to my heart. I posted a couple of times recently about this.

I see the lack of commenting on Hive as a real problem. If you are someone who only makes a few cents on each post then there has to be something else to keep you coming back. On other platforms you may make nothing, but you will enjoy the interaction you get. If you have worked hard on a post then you want some responses, even if it is criticism.

I am still in the top 100 for comments and even higher when it comes to replies.

I am mostly voting manually and I do my best to leave comments when I vote, especially if the post is lacking in that regard. I also vote up responses I get as I have enough HP to give them some payout. Anything less than about 2.7c is burnt. I can give added incentives in the form of BEER and ENGAGE tokens.

Of course quality matters as much as quantity. Thankfully I have seen very little in the way of 'Nice post' comments. I know some people do not have much time to respond, but if you are posting then I think it is polite to respond to comments you get.

Advantages of commenting include:

  • Making connections
  • Getting your content seen
  • Rewards!

A healthy commenting experience is good for Hive. Be part of the improvement.

Hive five!
