I wouldn't price his content at the value of his upvotes, but thats why we have the choice in upvoting.
With vote trading we don't have it anymore, meaning that a vote doesn't reflect an opinion anymore. That's my key issue here.
Yip, the content structure is a mess here - haha! No chance to find anything here. I addressed the wish to improve that submitting some ideas for the #roadmap2018. I hope it will be their priority.
Here's my philosophy about becoming successful on steemit:
So: YEAH! Let's cooperate, share ideas and help each other. I'm in! :-)
Followed back
Watched the video!
I agree with the sentiment, and I think you are 100% correct in that you should be thinking about what you can provide for the platform. But I don’t think its correct to say that you will rewarded for your content because that pushes one huge factor, which is being seen. You will only be rewarded if your content is actually seen. This is something that most steemians have realized.
What I do want to highlight is the mentality of what steem really is about, and why steem is so difficult to gain traction on.
Steem is a lot like real life. You have to do things because you want to do them, not because there is an incentive to do it. Steem’s environment exactly replicates that of the real world, where you have to fight tooth and nail to get someone’s attention. Steem’s token system has even created a monetary system where people have developed loaning SP with interest rates. This all mimics real life. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
After my 3rd week of experimenting with no booster engineering talks, I might just swap over to daily videos about steemit because I’m honestly not finding an audience. And I think that largely has to do with the fact that people don’t care about that topic here. People care about crypto here. And that wont change unless the communities features is introduced!
The more we talk, the more I like your way of thinking :-)
Probably any type of social network is a mirror of real life scenarios. Dezentralization tries to avoid that, or better said pretends to create something new. But it's hard to break with the established rules that shaped our lives over decades.
I'm also impatiently waiting for the community feature. This in combination with SMTs could build something huge!
I hope that the ones who have invested decent amounts of Steem will be patient enough to wait a couple of months more. The power down button is just one click away and Steem is not the only decentralized project out there.
im not an engineer without reason! You seem to really care about the community. I went through your post and voting history and it shows just that. You're the 2nd user to inspire me to create specific content for this site! I'll keep an eye on your resteems! Keep the comments up! and you dont seem like you are living in the US, but thank you, so HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I live on Canary Islands, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving but I'm already starting to bake some Christmas cakes. Food is always a good idea :-))
Happy day!
