OCD Sportstalk Incubation Curation Update

Welcome to another round of the Sporttalk tribes incubation curation update with OCD. This is always a special post as it does mean so much towards the sports tribe knowing we have such generous support backing what we do. This support has been going on for well over 1 year now and the growth figures we see are in many ways connected.

This is all about the figures and with the single aim of becoming a bigger and better tribe each week. Over the last year or so we have had consistent growth every single week.

This week comparing against last weeks figures the only consistent increase is the number of subscribers up by another 36. Every other figure is down which makes little to no sense as one would have hoped interactions would have increased.

Over the last 7 days I have submitted 11 posts with only 1 rejection due to image sources being a little dodgy. Spending time making sure the posts we submit are correct is all up to you and if they aren't they won't pass so please be more careful. I may come across as being harsh sometimes but it is more about protecting the tribe and protecting one source of support with which we have being @ocd.

Last week I mentioned I would be sponsoring 100 000 Sports tokens to the author who is doing original content and will do that later on tonight. Looking at this weeks figures it shouldn't be that hard as only a few qualified.

BONUS 100 000 SPORTS TOKENS FOR THOSE THAT ENGAGE WITH OTHERS.

Next week we will continue with the 100 000 Sports tokens give away, but this time it will be on comments. Somehow we need to increase our engagement and need users to step up and make the difference. How can a tribe be growing every week, but going backwards on the interactions? From looking around we are seeing only a few members carrying the tribe with everyone else sitting back.

This week I noticed regular older members not making the extra curation as they are not active members of the community anymore. In the past they received decent upvotes and now don't even qualify for those anymore. The sad thing is they are not even replying to comments on their posts which is a negative.

One has to understand where the support is coming from and why it needs to be justified in order to receive the vote. @ocd receives it's power from delegations from the Hive community so supporting members who are active and community minded is what it has to be. A post is not only an original piece and not some reworked story copied from a tabloid but it must also not be over rewarded versus the effort shown.

As a community we can all do so much better and shouldn't have to be giving away rewards to people commenting. On Hive if you want to grow and be taken seriously you need to be active and posting is not being active as that is a given. The commenting and replying with others is where the growth of your account comes from so please take that part seriously.

ARE YOU NEW TO HIVE/SPORTS AND ARE STRUGGLING WITH RESOURCE CREDITS?

If this is you leave me a comment and will gladly delegate some Hive so you can continue without any disruptions. This is a temporary delegation until you are on your own two feet.

I would like to thank @ocd for their support as without them I hate to know where we would be. An active tribe is a tribe that stands out attracting more users to join so we need to do more as a tribe. If anyone is keen to help out and join me on the curation team please drop a comment at the end of the post.

I have absolute belief this community will hit a point where it launches. I wont lie, my blog has gone from 1% focus on HIVE this year to 75% at the moment. Everywhere I can Im shifting my blog over to the blockchain and that includes revenue I generate from my blogs main website over to HIVE

If I may add, it was your persistence with these posts that made me realise that a few months back. I thank you for that and wish I realised earlier

This is one of the reasons you won the first of the 100 000 sports tokens. It is not much but it all adds up to something.

We say that now but in 3-5 years time we'll reflect back on 100000 SPORTS and I think we'll be amazed

I've noticed that over the past couple of weeks there are fewer predict the score type posts/competitions which undoubtedly contributes to fewer interactions as they tend to generate quite a few comments.

But overall, yes, we need to make an effort to read and interact more on posts

I strongly believe with time, interactions will grow. People just need to find what tickles their fancies in terms of posts to read and have the willingness to drop not just a comment, but a relevant one. I have also struggled with commenting in the past, but I can say I've become better. Slowly, but surely. 💪

Thank you for all that you do for the community. I am particularly excited to always post and earn as many Sports as I can. It's a matter of time before everyone sees the value. Thank you for all that you do.
