If you had attended one of the onboarding webinars that HivePH conducted previously the team will always emphasize on building your own network on-chain and off-chain. Some may find it a tedious task, but others find joy in having an interaction with their fellow Hiver.  

Currently, I am working on a spreadsheet that shows some data relating to Filipino users in Hive. I find it fun, as somehow this is related to the work that I am doing outside the blockchain (*data interpretation and reconciliation*). Now to back-up the said claims if engagement holds value nowadays here's a snippet from the report.

Reviewing the image above you will see that @ifarmgirl up to @pinkchic are getting wonderful rewards for being active in the blockchain. The average payout that they have doesn't go down to $1.00 which is absolutely outstanding already. 

But does engagement is the only factor that can give you more upvotes/rewards?

It will be not for sure, but it can serve as a guide. 

In the image above, you will notice outgoing comments from 0 up to 28 given by the users to other people. Rewards-wise their post isn't that bad I guess, but if you will see the number of contents created versus the comments given to other people isn't that proportional. 

Content created will also play a part in the reward scheme. Post from Actifit and Dbuzz doesn't earn that much compared to the other blogs created. But if some people already added your name to their automatic voting trail, then everything will be easy right? 

People will only care about your content unless you start interacting with them in general. This has been true in social media and even in Hive. Though we are not getting that many people whine about their rewards anymore ( none that I know of). 

So what do we get from here?

Every one of us has our own goals when we join Hive. Some want to earn quick money by creating content for even a small fraction of a dollar ( because it is free money! Facebook can never give you one for sure). Others are more into making genuine interactions with other people and having genuine friendships ( while earning money on the side for sure). 

You still do what you think will work for you and yes I would always agree that engagement in Hive with fellow Hivers is a must if you want others to notice you and reap some rewards in the long run.

How about you? Do you think engagement really has value here in Hive?
