I really love how easy it is to introduce non-crypto people.
Introduced @suika - a youtuber/singer - she went from 0 knowledge to using and trading a crypto in less than 3 days. a great success story in my opinion.
Great steemians are @dan @stellabelle @cryptoctupus to name a few. I actively use the follow function, so once that's public you can check the great people out :)
I feel some may be turned off with the amount of cryptocurrency talk, but as more people join the community, especially those younger and older, I feel that a greater diversity of content will appear. I think it would be great to have some separate pages dedicated to music, art, etc so you could browse "New Rock Music" or "Trending Reggae" instead of searching for them individually. The site is already great but it has the potential to launch people's careers. I am quite excited for that. What improvements do you think would add value to steemit?
Here are the most important things on my book I'm currently missing
mobile app
marketplace (in development)
escrow (in development)
messaging (in development for GUI)
down votes stake based. (do not hide posts for newbie dv's)
restrict accounts with less than 20 SP (eg 1 post per hour, commenting every 10 mins)
better wallet overview (example add a ticking $D interest counter, explain payouts)
add clickable links to history payout posts
add follower stream
add mute lists and make them follow-able via proxy
language filters
addthis.com sharing buttons
post stats / analytics
referral program
a blog page where the user can decide which posts to show
night mode theme
ipfs images integration
I do think that people with less than a certain amount of steempower should be limited in how many posts they can make per day. That would encourage them to invest and post more and help steemit financially or to post more meaningful things and help add value to the community. Memes and jokes are great but when you compare that with a well thought out heart felt post there is not a whole lot of value added in the latter in my opinion. But what's great about steemit is that if someone disagrees with me they have the power to reward any content they find interesting or entertaining.
must answer you here, since we reached the max comment level :)
this is still my opinion. accounts with less than 20 Steem Power should be restricted
100% agree. I'm alright with people posting their own videos or posting reactions to news stories, but simply posting a video from YouTube or just a news story without any insight seems to be what some people are doing which can drown out some people who work hard on their content.
