I for one appreciate your efforts. It was following those efforts that made me a believer.
I've upvoted your post because it's truthful and informative.
But I think it sends the wrong message.
What you are saying about timing is a very USA or at least Western Hemisphere centric point of view. While I agree it applies to the right here and the right now. That's only because this community is still rather small by internet standards and is not very geographically, or monetarily disbursed.
The bulk of the money and therefore the upvoting power right now is sitting in the USA. As it spreads out across the globe, this effect is going to go away.
Hell I live in the USA and while I'm no whale yet, I don't intend to change the hours I keep, once I am and I'll bet a largish portion of other night owls will feel the same way.
There are other fundamentals coming into play soon too.
Europe, especially the Netherlands will probably end up outbidding the current whales as soon as they understand the potential here. This place fits much better with a European mindset than it does an American mindset, because in a way it functions as a social safety net. Social programs are for some reason much more appealing to those across the pond than they are to the rugged individualist mindset so prevalent here in the states.
Europe isn't the only story here either. We all know what happened with bitcoin as soon as China caught on, and this place is perfect for people that live under a regime that is heavily censored and tightly controlled. More especially because it does give them a dollar pegged asset with a huge potential growth.
My point is, give it a couple months, the part about time of day won't matter so much. Once it stops mattering though this post will live on and people will keep trying to post content during US business hours because they won't really understand the fundamental dynamics at play here. So would you mind adding a caveat?
Excellent points and this means I get to write another article when things change! ;)
Good points here. I agree that as more people around the globe join Steemit it will not matter so much about the time you post. On another platform, I post photos for the Western side of the world during the day and a photo sometimes at 1 - 3am for all of my friends on the Eastern side of the world.
