UTTER STEEMSHIT
I find it hard to find anything useful or interesting on Steemit, it's just one big Steemshit click-bait platform.
There are a few good bloggers I followed before Steemit was around, but 99% of Steemit is total trash.
Personally, I think Steemit will evolve in to something people use for specialist subjects, like photography, just like G+ did.
That's probably what I'll end up using it for.
Most Facebook groups and Slack channels are complaining about people who post Steemit links, so it's already getting a bad rep.
Maybe the Steemit team have a cunning plan?
If anyone out there has or knows someone that has genuinely good content, something unique and worth reading, please add the link in the messages section.
Maybe then, I'll have better opinion.
But for now, Steemit is utter Steemshit.
This post could also be classed as Steemit, because it can collect revenue - The irony :)
I think there is a great content on Steemit, but it is really hard to sift through. I think each category at the top of the page (Hot, Trending, Promoted, etc.) should have a drop down with five to ten major topics. So if you highlight "Hot" it would drop down a list of "News, Sports, Tech, Life, Humor" and you then could click on that topic and your would see the list for that topic.
Does anyone know if "hot" or "trending" measure how many replies a post has? Because I think replies should have even greater weight than an upvote. Why? It is very easy to fake reading content by just upvoting, but a reply tells us so much more about the content. Forgive my ignorance about Steemit, but those are my thoughts.
Hahahahaha! It's been even worse since the hard fork and the crypto markets went bearish. My voting power is back in the 90th percentile for the first time in weeks. If more people don't post something worth upvoting when it gets to 100, I may have to resort to >gasp< upvoting my own comments /s.
Anyway, thanks for the laugh. Upvoted and followed.
I would agree.
There is not a great discovery process for quality content. Content is extremely timely, ephemeral, and needs to be highly topical to be successful.
There is a wave of new users hoping for riches and attempting to spam their way towards it. I'm still hopeful in the long vision of Steemit and the blockchain already, but Steemit really has some growing up to do to be really successful.
Yeah, fingers crossed. Lets just hope it doesn't become the iconic joke of the internet before its had time to succeed :)
