Hello everyone and welcome to another Sportstalk OCD Curation update where we look back at how the tribe faired over the last seven days. This OCD Curation support is all about growing the tribe through supporting quality original posts and engagement. Without further a do lets take a look at the figures to see how the tribe has faired.
Subscribers are up by 42 (3201 and now 3243) which is decent growth even though interactions have dropped again this week whilst having more active users. Pending rewards are down by 20% which is crazy considering Hive has increased in value this week highlighting the quality of the posts.
What doesn't make sense to myself is I am looking for quality content to vote and still struggling as very little is on offer. There are a handful of authors constantly earning as they deserve this for the content they produce as it is original and interesting.
Original content is not a news article that you have spun as sports people read the online tabloids and know what is happening. I personally ignore these posts as I have read the original article already. I would stab at a guess 20% of the sportstalk tribes feed is stale content with low effort and could be classed as spam. Spam is a post that offers nothing of value and is just posted with no personal input or thoughts.
At one stage we could submit close to 30 posts for extra curation and now to give you an idea this week there were only 13 posts submitted. We have to maintain the standards and cannot just submit because you posted. Effort has to be seen at the very least and that is not clear and obvious with many of the posts.
If you are new to the tribe we are here to support you through providing extra curation where it is justified. Submit a decent post that is original meaning your own words along with your own thoughts and views and that is it. Make sure you have sourced your images correctly and provided a source (no Getty) and this is not difficult.
Another crucial part of receiving support is by engaging with others on Hive by commenting and replying on posts. This not only shows you are getting involved but also helping yourself by growing your support through being social. The reason why interactions are down is many users only reply if someone comments on their posts and never on someone else's. This is all looked at before rewarding extra curation and why many users on Sportstalk and Hive will not grow.
There is a feeling of entitlement by many in the tribe by the way they conduct themselves and will be in for a rude awakening when the tribe grows as they will have wasted their time on here. Sportstalk and Hive is not difficult to earn rewards if you stay busy as you will be noticed. Staying busy and consistent is the secret to growing on Hive and we have a core group on Sportstalk who do just that and was hoping others would pick up on this.
If you are new to Sportstalk and are struggling to post and comment due to alack of Resource Credits please leave a comment and we will help you. The one point to qualify for this delegation is that you must be powering up what you are earning.
Once again I would like to thank OCD for their continued support as this is really appreciated by the community. If you have some spare Hive and are looking to delegate please consider
