Once again it is great to see so many people participating in the Milk Challenge. The Milk Challenge was born in frustration looking at trending a few days ago and seeing almost nothing but Burn posts and SBD Potato Posts. Plus a few witnesses pitching their ideas.
The trending page was looking pretty unattractive.
The last couple of days it's looked a bit better, thanks to some curation groups.
In anycase, User-Engagement and Activity is a good thing in my opinion and I would rather see efforts that help with distribution and user retention through having fun and encouraging people to be active instead of bitching about what every one does.
I INVITE YOU TO MILK.
I think the idea that end-users should sit and write complicated posts every day really hurts with user retention. On the other hand casual posts do not have to be all over trending to create engagement and activity. Frankly Trending has historically been pretty terrible and I don't expect that to change, but I still think we can encourage activity.
So to participate in the challenge make one post a day and comment on 10. A few people are doing modified versions of this around their own schedules which is fine!
Use the tag #milkandtaters or #milkandtators
Make it fun, make it casual and don't expect to trend.
If you like engagement, give it.
1 post and 10 comments a day!
So to the fun things on Steem, I love the "How Steem Impacted My Life Posts", there is usually one on trending and they have all been great. That is being managed by @theycallmedan
Also a lot of fun are some of the #2020Vision posts. Check out the tag.
As always you can post from a number of front-ends, or play Splinterlands!
Get out there and create some activity and have some fun... Add the other projects you are enjoying in the comments.
Also we are starting to see a little more price action when the market is moving... Let's not hit the bull market stagnant and depressing, get out there and create some fun and engagement.
