Some of the posts in the trending are nothing but bid bot graveyards of comments. Hardly any person comments on those posts and 4-6 comments are just confirmation that a bid bot has upvoted the post.
I get an average of 10-20 comments on my posts and usually end up with 2 dollars or less in post value. Sure I would like higher post value but I also value the interaction I get with people.
If Steemit is an image of our society then there are some sectors showing how a gifteconomy and pay-it-forward attitude works here.
Yeah, I know that's the way it is.
I enjoy commenting and replying to comments posted under my posts. In the meantime it happens that I'm over $2, but unfortunately I don't always have 10-20 comments. But I'm sure it will come.
I'm not gonna be around that long.
You got that right! That's one of the things I really like here. Let's hope that this will be even more so in the world!

I know it's a bit daunting continue doing that awesome Engagement to the people that leave comments on your posts. Make them feel important enough that they keep coming back to interact with you.
I hope that you stick around long enough to see what SOG has set out to do; an engaged Steemit community.
