Look I just finished a population that will upload in a few hours this same community, talking about how inflation in my country and the decline of cryptocurrencies has affected me, I came to HIVE interested in earnings, like you that was the first attraction and of course it has helped me a lot, but as you point out, having interesting comments on our publications is an extra gain, it nourishes us and encourages us to continue, it is very good to receive a good vote, but if the publication is not commented one feels that no one read those lines in which one invested time and effort, it is as if the bread lacks salt.

Well maybe not a lot know to join the Hive engagement thing. Forgot who is running it. Well personally I'm done with chasing upvotes on this site but I still write here from time to time. 😉

Yeah I hear you on the engagement. It's an interesting phenomenon that I think we can scientifically document at this point LOL. Bear Market Blues sounds like it's got a decent ring to it. Maybe come up with another name for it! :D

I certainly enjoy the engagement and when I'm on the platform and active, it's always good to get out there and get some comments on my posts. Buuuuut being the devils advocate here, how about *you* go out there and check out some posts and drop some comments? :)

You post often enough in the Rant community, maybe you'd like to be a mod of it and make sure every post gets a comment? It's a lot of fun! :D

We all came for the money but stayed for the community and fun banter that goes on. I think that's what's really fun and cool about Hive. We have our issues but we also have a lot of fun.

I noticed  I am even a defaulter. i have come to enjoy engaging, dropping comments than making post... but i will do better


And faces like @peaq and so many other are no more as active.. saddens my heart too because aside the money i really appreciate the conversation and friendship i hive built on the block...🥺

To support your work, I also upvoted your post!

Well, this is where you'll know who are your true engagers. People don't the fact that the bear market is even the best time to be here.

You are exactly right!
I have noticed the same, but I think last summer was the same - not sure, I took off for a few months myself!😎😁🤣

As my reasons for being here is the same as yours I understand, and can tell you in August it picks up again!
Wish You an Awesome Friday!
👍🏼🌄👍🏼

Most persons came for the money but not many can stay even when the money is coming in little by little so you should understand.

Once we're off the bear, you will have a lot to read on your feed 😅 shikina! 🤣

Well, I understand you... I've noticed it too but what to do nau? We just have to keep it busy until they come back.

You should check out @dreemport challenges, the participants aren't getting bored of Hive because of it... And there will be a discord party later today, have you been to a discord party before? 😅 You'll love it, I'm inviting you to keep busy with fun!!! 😊

Yeah it always happens when the price drops ... Just keep doing what you do. More of reward pool for the people who are still hanging out! 

I don't know what it's supposed to be like so I have no opinion. I know that very few people actually watch my videos but I can't blame them.

Aw thanks for the shoutout. 
But I get you, and I relate with seeing strange blogs I’m not interested in on my feed. 
I don’t know what’s happening or is it because of the bear market? I guess it’s now we’ll fish the imposters from the real ones.
