Since the last hardfork, things have changed a lot. Engagement has taken a hit, and the few decent comments I do get seem to be hidden amidst a ton of spam.

To be completely honest, I am losing the desire to create content while it seems that so few people are even viewing it, so I have come up with an idea that I hope will bring some more attention to my blog and the message I am promoting.

To encourage attention and engagement on my blog, I have decided that from this post going forward, 20% of all earnings made on every one of my posts will go back to those who interacted with my content. This applies to each and every future post of mine-- unless it clearly states otherwise in the post.

The rewards will be paid as follows;

10% of the payout(20% of the SBD) will go the best comment on every post.

10% of the payout(20% of the SBD) will go to one random person who resteemed that particular post.

I am currently working on a method to prove that it is a random resteemer selected each time to receive 10%, but when it comes to the comments, I don't trust voter abuse and so it will always be my subjective opinion. I may choose the most insightful comment, or I may just choose the funniest one. I may even choose a troll if their comment makes me laugh and there's nothing better to reward.

I am curious to see how this change will effect my blog, and if it works, it may be a good way for others to encourage engagement on their own steemit blogs.

This change is now in effect, so I encourage you to resteem this post to spread the word. You or one of your followers may just earn something from it.

I hope to be engaging with many of you soon-
