Hi there @adewararilwan true the distribution of reward doesn't favor just quality content but one should not focus on this to succeed on Steem. Rather, focus on your goals; strategize and work towards achieving them.

Talking about engagement, I think it has to start in the opposite direction. How many posts do you leave valuable comments like this on daily basis? I trying to point that one does not sit back and wait for engagement on their post, you have to go after it unless the post has giveaway in it that will attract the engagement.

Anyways, have a nice day buddy!
