I always enjoy your posts and wonder way they don't do much better in rewards. Attracting new users to steemit with the promise of big rewards is a lie in my opinion. They show up and see the posts on the trending page thinking this should be easy, I can produce better content. But very quickly they realise quality doesn't account for much here unfortunately.
Those posts on the trending page are self fulfilling prophesies with auto upvotes leading to auto upvotes all for curation rewards, It is definitely not a good representation of what the network can be .
There is a good community here but it is getting automated out of existence. I think the true worth of the content on Steem will be only discovered in years to come as people mine for those diamonds.
Valuing posts more highly just because they bring more people to Steem smells of a pump and dump mentality.
Thanks! I wonder about it too, sometimes. I suppose it's just pay of the puzzle is the platform.
Yeah, this platform has a ways to go before it reaches anywhere near it's full potential, and it's becoming clear that we're going to need a lot more people with high SP who believe in content.
Quite interesting, you set forth your point of view. From this side, I have not yet looked at this platform ...
