I've had similar thoughts and would go even further to say that quite a few people sometimes don't even go through the content before voting. But in the past 3 weeks that I have been active again I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people that do genuinely engage with you, especially if you keep that relationship alive by not keeping the rapport one-sided.
This might also just be my experience, but I've noticed that sense engagement (in the form of replies/reactions to content as opposed to just votes) is stronger in smaller communities. Most likely a side-effect to the fact that masses and/or newcomers automatically flock to the biggest and most popular communities.
But I think that in time society will adapt in a meaningful way to incentivized social media, supported by the work communities like PHC and others put in. Steemit was launched in 2016, not even 5 years ago, so in long term sense we are still at the beginning.
Thank you for interacting and commenting on this post. I hope the participation will always remain in Hive.

Thank you for the recognition! Hive has so far been more addicting than any other social platform I have come by, so the future looks bright.
Yes! Well this is obvious with auto voting naturally, but as you have pointed out is also way too common with MANUAL curation.
And yes - a BIG part of it relies on the individual and their own efforts too!
BINGO!!!!!!* And they SOON discover that it leaves them somewhat "lost at sea".
Well said and SPOT ON! As for us as a community, we will not stop working at achieving that. :)
Thanks so much for your valued input on this! MUCH appreciated!

Of course. I forgot about auto voting and bots. Also, curation trails, which I just found out last week are a thing.
Even though they are lost at sea, those who keep on swimming, will eventually reach land. Things like contests are a good way to support this and give the wanderers an extra push towards creativity.
Thank you for the appreciation and thought-provoking content. :)
Well said and very true - but I do like to try and make the "treading water" end a little sooner lol!
As for curation trails... I see their value, but have never used them and will never implement it into PHC.
Agreed, with the word 'Creatives' in the name, the focus should be more on manual interaction and less on automation.
yippididee!! :)
