Hi, @azircon.

First of all, this is a very interesting post about behavioral aspects within Hive. We need more approaches like this to discuss (broadly) possible solutions for this type of problem. I think discussions like this make most of the ideas out there evolve positively. Collective work means collective discussion, and I really value this type of dynamic (in all kind of aspects). Hive is a plural; democratic space and we all have a voice here that needs to be heard and this is what I’m doing here.

I would like to make a few considerations, although I was not tagged, my username is in your text. So, here I go. From what I've read, and understand (both in your text and in your interactions with other users' comments in this post), some of your main doubts are clearly about how I act and what I do at Hive in terms of interactions (quality vs. quantity). I'll try to clear this all up by saying some things (I'll try to be as brief as possible (although I wish I could write more) which I consider important for you, and all other readers, to understand.

I've been writing and publishing my texts in blockchain lands for almost eight years now and I know how the things work (so, I would obviously ruin everything I have been building with so much effort over so many years). My level of commitment to this project is pretty high, and goes beyond the money specifically (by the way, I rarely took money out of here... practically everything I've ever managed to earn is invested in this project). I also do it because I really like writing and for all the learning and friendships that I have made here (so far).

Everything I do here is manual (a work 100% done by a human), and never, at any time, have I used "textual automation" (bots) and I always do my best to write about the subjects that interest me. Which brings me to your other question ("spammer commenter"), and what I have to say about it is this: On my long posts (personal blog), my interactions with commenters are rarely anything like "nice" or "thanks" (only when their comment itself is already very vague... something I sometimes decide not to respond to myself). I try to interact in the best way possible, bringing some more substantial value to what is being written. At Snaps, the vibe of the project is kinda different because the idea is to make interactions shorter and more objective, and this is precisely what I do there.

I'm not going to say I've never made a "good shot" or “it’s a beautiful place” comment, because that would be lying, but sometimes, this is enough to trigger a possible interaction there (whether or not that will be considered by you or others as actual engagement, is another story). Things can easily happen within these simple comments. I understood your comment on this (and I'm even going to "police" myself to avoid very vague answers from now on), but when you highlight the number of comments I've made, everything I publish (comments, spaps, threads) is within that package (but it has different depths). I don't consider myself a "comment spammer", but once again, I understand what you meant, and I thank you for giving me this insight, because maybe other people are thinking the same about what I do here.

I recently became the FIRST BRAZILIAN ORCA (without having used any money from my own pocket… everything is the result of my hard work and my commitment to this project, which is an incredible milestone for me... after all, I live in a country that has more than 210 million inhabitants) and I certainly want to achieve much more here at Hive, helping myself and also the entire ecosystem (always playing according to the rules of good coexistence and cooperation). In some way, I see myself as a good user reference for many other people around here, and surely, I would definitely like to continue to be seen that way.

That’s all. I hope everything has been clarified.
