This system fits well with the way I used to do things. I knew there would be comments rolling in so I'd ensure my vote power was charged before posting. After posting, my comment section would become the content I'm engaging with and rewarding. Didn't have time for anything else.

Never did the thing where I have a bot voting for other things in the background as I'm busy with my own stuff.

Having this system back then, I would've been able to be even more efficient. I valued the organic experience. This system is better suited for that. Goes with the flow while you're busy just going with the flow.

Kind of funny as well. I was busy engaging with and rewarding short-form content long before people even knew it was short-form content here. Didn't even have to search for it. It came to me in the form of comments.

Been trying out the new "official" short-form methods. Snaps mainly. Unfortunately, there's not much engagement to reward. Still running into the oldest of all problems. People come here to post and be rewarded for it. Not many focused on consumption and being rewarded for it. But I figured out a strategy long ago on leo threads that worked. Simply create an attractive short-form post. Rewarding the engagement is how I'd earn from it. If snaps had thousands of people around, it would be quite easy to earn more rewarding consumers. Maybe the post earns a dollar but I could earn 5 handing out 10 to those engaging. This system makes that a lot simpler, and more rewarding as well.

One part I'm struggling with is finding attractive content. Things that catch my eye and keep my interest. I'd like to be a little more active as a consumer. Creators don't make it easy. And I'm not about to go handing out participation rewards just because I have extra voting power. I'm fine with going somewhere else or doing other things in life.
