RE: Does Anyone Actually READ My (Your) Stuff?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I read far more than I comment on. Sometimes I enjoy relaxing and reading (I'm not there to engage in comments) and sometimes I don't have anything to add to the conversation.
I find it intriguing what gets a response: the two posts with the most engagement were fairly short and off-the-cuff, probably took me less than fifteen minutes. One was about fish and chips and the other was about my button box!
I hear a lot of gripes about auto-voting. I find it a useful tool to support authors I want to see on Hive and I want to stick around. They've usually been here a while and I see it as similar to a subscription. Probably about a quarter to a third of my voting power is auto-voting.

There's often little rhyme or reason to the ways of social media... anywhere. Why do some memes go viral, while others live forever in obscurity? The world is fickle and hard to predict.
The "norm" seems to be that people get fired up over the controversial or trendy, or anyone offering an opinion that's not in lockstep with the popular trends of the world.
I'm certainly not shaming auto-voting, and use it myself... it kicks in on days when I am too busy for Hive and is set to support a relatively small number of carefully vetted content creators whenever my voting power goes above a certain level. I like the idea of seeing it almost as a subscription...
That was an idea that came to me as I was writing the comment 😍.
Happy New Year 🥳
Happy New Year to you, as well! Let's make 2025 a great one!
