RE: Follow Friday: Keep on Steeming and support the plankton!

in #followfriday7 years ago (edited)

In my case, I never watch videos here, I much prefer to read. Vlogging is someone anyone can but not everyone is able, or wants to appear on video.
I think the other big benefit of the written word is that it's easy to tell shortly after starting whether younwishnto continue reading. With video, you can end up watching it all, waiting for it to get better only to find youve wasted your time.
Horses for courses my friend :-)
I do totally agree about some outside advertising. With the huge SP Steemit inc has at its disposal, I cannot understand why there isn't more promotion of the platform itself. Perhaps they are expecting the developers of third party apps to do it, which would be a fair point, but so few people know anout Steemit outside Steemit.
Mynsolutio would be a small upvote for each post shared to FB or Twitter...but max 2 a day to stop spammers.

I'm more of a reader than a watcher too. I think they don't feel ready for a marketing push yet. It's no good millions coming here if they can't sign up. The next hardfork should be fairly soon and then it may all happen.
