Just checked the Leofinance engagement numbers posted by the excellent @abh12345 and saw that I've improved from the bottom 20, to #35. This sort of recognition and gamification helps to make commenting fun and builds community on the blockchain.
One of the reasons I do this, is because I never forgot those early days in 2017 ob Steemit. I'd spend hours, putting together an informative post that no one saw or responded to, let alone upvoted. The aim is to ensure that as few people as possible experience what I and other new people did and to make Hive and Leofinanace a destination, rather than just a place to pass through.
So if there's a "win" it's in making sure content creators know that their work has been seen and appreciated. And no, we're not talking about one-line throwaway comments, but something thoughtful that proves you actually read the post.
The only Issue I ran into late last year, was the choice between leaving comments on many posts or upvoting each one and having my "manna" run out. Since I don't have a Whale's upvote value (yet), I decided to focus my firepower on commenting, while upvoting insightful posts, so that I can keep my VP in the 90's.

Since I usually get on during the graveyard shift, I've noticed that that's where the least engagement is found. Therefore, if you see a weak spot, shore it up! and that's what I'm trying to do. It's also fun running into the very kind @bozz while we're both out there seeding comments like digital Johnny Appleseed's. As John Lennon once sang in the song Imagine 'I hope one day you'll join us' Let's do this! :)
Thank You So Much!
