Wonderful insight on a very important matter. Unfortunately, steemit has become a source of spammy and crappy posts. People are not looking to add value to the platform, they just want to push out “stuff” in hopes to earn quickly..
My idea of the platform is that at least 70% of the posts we create must be contribution based. By contribution, i mean detailed analysis on topics that people normally search on google to get answers and they usually end up in reddit, youtube and other websites to get the information.. trust me when i tell you that you won’t get a single steemit link on any of the important topics that are searched on google. How can we expect to bring in more traffic if thats all we are capable of?
Sorry to post my meltdown here but when i see such topics, it burns my heart. Steemit has the potential to go beyond facebook and we are totally misusing this platform just to feed our selfish desires..
Not many people think like you do (which is evident from your post), keep up the good work..
I agree, I think it's probably slowing up the growth and the bigger picture of what it could be. But I have faith that the "spammy" people and those that think they can make a quick buck without contributing in anyway will eventually get filtered out, somehow, someway (I don't have the answer..lol) but I guess its all still new and things will hopefully iron out.
Thanks for commenting. All we can do is spread the message. :)
They will.. most of them leave the platform anyway when they post their selfie as a post and expect to get 50$ on it. But when they get 0.005$ instead, they get tired and then leave.. :p
