I think that the lack of good aggregation and market making tools is a major hurtle for Steemit. For a system that is tied to social networking of sorts it is not very user friendly when it comes to helping you find those who are interested in your work. Even when you do there is so much power for so few people. What is the incentive to vote for content when you are an average user other than you just like the content? Your vote carries almost no weight. I have made a little on here and I no longer really make that my goal. I have met some nice people on here and it is a venue for display. I have decided that is the reward for my efforts that I seek and have a rather long term view of the whole thing.
Except that there isnt even a chatbox feature available where you can talk with people you met here, maybe that would be a good feature to add. What kind of social media is this where you cant even talk with people only in comments.
I have raised things like that before and get the answer that there is an open api.
Really? Hope that someone improves it because ??? It is definitely not a feature rich system yet.
Somebody has to do it, what kind of social media is that where you cant communicate frictionlessly. And not just that, but many more features, look at FB how many features it has, from apps, to all kinds of things. If there would be some SD powered game that would be fantastic, like those silly farming games, but with Steem Dollar instead of FB credits.
I agree. It is not exactly a feature rich platform.
