Like I said, this is as much an ad as are the present Cointelegraph headlines. Industry updates are a low-hanging content consumption fruit. Meanwhile, art is very niche, even in the Crypto space.
At best, art should have its own tribe for that niche. Steemit's easiest go-to market is the Crypto space itself, which consumes content on industry's upcoming projects, TA, and regulation news.
Steemit isn't just about crypto though. That's a common misconception. And there is a tribe for art, but that doesn't mean that kind of content must be pushed aside by your advertisement. It's an advertisement by definition, regardless of content, the moment you purchased votes and used an exploit to push your content up to the trending page. Your post isn't on the trending page because it is popular. If you feel the market for your content is here, why not try honest curation? Why not try earning for your work, instead of pushing all other content aside so you can get visibility all while taking visibility away from those who earned the slot?
And my view is that you're largely wrong and plenty of data supports that. We can continue in DM since I'd like to continue this talk but I will likely stop looking at this article soon.
Do you have Telegram?
I must be a statistical anomaly then. Unfortunately, this entity doesn't really talk much outside of the platform.
