I get this…

Sharing is not only through reblogs and Twitter either. I think that part of the reason I have been able to build "staked support" from within the community is that some of my posts have been shared privately in discords by people who have been interested in what was being said. Not all has attracted positive attention based on topic, but there is a social network at play here and the reputation of people goes beyond stake or that silly metric next to the name. Having trusted people share content is probably the most valuable share a content creator can get.

I am very active on Twitter and routinely get my names on those lists of most Active Hiveans on Twitter, but to be honest, I get kudos for spreading the word, but still no engagement on the posts. I think it may be to entirely different pursuits, but 100 plus votes per post is a form of engagement, but I guess comments would make me feel people are reading and taking something from the posts.

This requires more thought.
