RE: Share Hive Links on Reddit, Earn $HIVE, and Win Prizes! 👇 HivePosh Contest #24

This is a good point, and as we discussed privately it's hard to know what goes on between reddit impressions and website views. You'd think there being hundreds of comments they would have at least read the post. Myself and @x-rain have quite strict rules on how shares are done to "force" redditors to check the full post out so sharers don't share most of the content on reddit and just add a link "just in case they wanna read more" to prevent people from just intaking the gist of the post there.
I am however also sure that impressions on reddit are similar to twitter, i.e. just scrolling past a subreddit or feed and seeing the post counts as an impression so we're not really considering that mainly when we reward the shares, but thousands of views is still way more than what most posts on hive do and they're getting 98%+ of the author rewards so I don't think we should be reserved about how much rewards we give to sharers who for once are bringing any traffic to the posts. I think we should encourage it more. As many wise stakeholders in the past have said, posts that don't bring any attention from the outside may very well be worth $0, yet we're overrewarding posts that don't even bring attention from the inside to them often.
Posting a catchy title along with just a link is currently the most effective way to attract Redditors to visit and read your article. Another interesting strategy could be to create a tutorial on 3Speak, then share only the link on Reddit to drive users to Hive. Using more frontends—like SkateHive—is also a great way to increase visibility.
I agree that Reddit is similar to Twitter in the sense that scrolling counts as a view, and what POSH has achieved on Reddit is impressive. POSH should be promoted more by community leaders, and it might be worth exploring reward systems for sharing, in collaboration with POSH.
a tutorial of what?
Any kind of tutorials from how to find specific setting on your phone to How to play a specific game. Unboxing videos, education videos or how to cook videos.
