RE: The Steem community problem Netcoins uncovered

in #steem6 years ago

@tarazkp, I find it hard to comment on this without going into a semi-rageful diatribe.

The closest I can come to saying something semi-meaningful is to bring up the old marketing truism that you get EXACTLY what you ask for.

The "establishment" of Steemit went out and threw all their focus at the approach of "Get paid on Steemit!" and attracted a million users looking to "Get paid on Steemit!"

As such, we now have a million users (yes, I know, we don't have a million active users!) whose primary interest and allegiance is to "Get paid on Steemit!"

Stated a little more specifically, they don't CARE about "building value" and "building stake," their eye is entirely on next week's pizza money.

It's also why the Steem token is struggling to maintain price, let alone increase. There is huge selling pressure from thousands and thousands of people who want to "cash out" every time they have 5 or 10 Steem to their name.

Sort:  

I think that in time this will change because it is going to get harder to get hand out earnings here as those with stake start using it for other things. wait for the fuss to be kicked up then.
