RE: WHY ARE SOME OF STEEMIT BEST WRITERS LEAVING? ARE YOU FEELING IGNORED? WHAT CAN WE DO TO INCREASE RETENTION OF CREATIVE WRITERS? DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR SIMPLE SOCIAL POSTS? HOW CAN WE BALANCE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE CONTENT?

I would much rather be reddit than medium.

Who in the world has time to read long drawn out post about life? Only the unemployed.

We need to increase payout to comments if you want to build community.

Should have separate category to reward comments. Activity and community would skyrocket.

Hell I think it's worth it to reward only comments and give authors a curation-like cut of all comments on their post.

    Third idea is interesting. Did you know that the original design of Steemit had half the rewards from every comment flowing up to the parent comment(s), and ultimately up to the original post?

    No I didn't. Why was that scrapped? I think there has been a slow appreciation for activity and attention lately. That design would generate mor activity than the current but would now be such a big shift.

      Yes it was scrapped. The thinking at the time was, I think, to offer more rewards to comments rather than sharing them up the tree. It hasn't exactly worked out that way as far as I can tell.
