RE: The Future Of Everything: Communities

What is interesting is that Hive is already operating in this manner. We see the ability to form a community at the base layer. It is inherent in the system. This is going to open up a host of different possibilities as more of the infrastructure gets built out.
There are many communities on Hive, yet the comments under posts are still rare. Nowadays the average number of comments per post is 2-3, but most of those comments are bot comments. This is mostly the result of automated curation. This post is a perfect example. Currently there are 527 upvotes, but there are absolutely no comments. However there are 3 reblogs, which are probably manual.
Either way, writing anything meaningful in a post feels like time wasting, because there are no real human interaction on most of the posts.
What would happen to this platform, if there would be no automated curation? Probably there would be either more real, human interaction, or less activity in general. What is your opinion about this?
I think its important to find your own humans tbh...
Like @chrisrice and @jonschwartz77
And Own your own Busyness...
Like @frankbacon
Maybe focusing on one thing is good, but there are also successful people out there, who are being diverse by posting various posts.
I think a lot of people overestimate how much interaction is on social media long form content. Look at YouTube. Sure there are some videos with 300 or 500 comments but they have millions of views.
The reality is very few people will comment on long form. Most of the Internet is just garbage content and that is why twitter and facebook are so dominant. Most people are putting out dopey things which others latch onto.

YouTube is actually full of comments. Even the smallest YouTubers receive good/proper amount of comments, and most of these comments are funny comments.
I don't think writing something meaningful is time wasting, it actually stands out even more since there is a scarcity of genuine reading+responding to posts sometimes. It makes the real efforts to comment and communicate all the more valuable.
If no one reads it, then I think that it is time wasting.
Not sometimes, but mostly. And if it is ignored/missed, then it will not stand out.
You got 3 real comments 😀
