Oh, you're definitely on point with the distinction that you made. One look at the trending page bears your point out beautifully. And let me add that I too am not criticizing. I write ON Steemit, but I have to admit that this is partly because of my utter lack of expertise in writing about topics FOR Steemit, lol! That's probably for the best. I really enjoy the more varied topics beyond crypto and the Steem-specific. I've found many a gem that deserved better attention, but I live in the hope that this will normalize as the throwaway content diminishes. I find that those writing ON Steemit is what really makes it a rich platform for anyone visiting, even those with limited knowledge of crypto. It's a better investment to post your content to Steemit, both monetarily and intellectually, than to put it up on unrewarding social media like fb, twitter, Minds, etc.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I guess arguments can be made both ways... long before I was ever on Steemit, people would "advise" me that I should go after popular topics... but I look at that, and there are already 300,000 articles on "how to use a smartphone." What can I possibly add to that, and how could I possibly stand out in a crowd that large? Here, the topic-du-jour is Steemit... again, what can I add that hasn't been said 47 times already?
I'm pretty happy with my niche publishing.
Agreed. We stick with what we know.
