I realize that I could have done much better with an array of bots hopping onto every trending post and getting the curation rewards. I have purposely tried to act as a faithful user of the platform to see if it is useful for people who use it as a social platform.
I read how there were too many creators and not enough consumers. I am mostly a consumer. My experiences of having comments rejected because of lack of power was very frustrating. Glad to have enough to function now, I just view it as an important caveat for any new users, weighed against the merits of this platform.
Its not going to be something like X at... alll! Indeed that's a big barrier, but its also a filtering characteristic of a new paradigm... and I would never envision this to be as easy as speaking a native language or communicating within your own family.
It's going to be a work in progress for a lot of time... but like many things in life, the legacy of these things is what we make of them. And just to document its quirks and challenges is such a great start... for the next generation of bright minds to mine and evolve.
Thanks for dwelling into trying at least.
To find appreciated by just being around, is hard. And I think #inleo is trying to help lots on that front, and this looks like a great way of doing in my view. At least, a viable one.
Later, with more critical mass, the difficulty you pointed out might just become easier.
