Zappl is 240 characters, Not everything is rewarded, also the web is 90% short form content when you take out porn. So the obvious impact short form application will have for the steem blockchain in regards to user signupns and content is going to be very significant.
Also zappl rewards comments on its application and we have the data to prove that user activity is way up. User communication has sky rocketed because of it, which aren't all bot comments. Zappl also don't spam every post they upvote with witness information.
Steemit after v.20 won't be the only main site to sign up. V.20 makes it more affordable for apps to signup users. Also we would like to state not all of zappl is short form, we also allow video uploads to several minutes long as well. Including video and gif uploads as well.
As people are on this oh post are to small, the most successful application and websites in the world are almost all short form. Zappl all depends on how you use it, because some sites filter our video embeds its hard to show what zappl is truly bringing to the blockchain.
(Yes, I saw the 240 characters after having prepared the above commentary*. 😊)
Great job you guys have done putting this together and keeping it running. Your service is appreciated. 🙏
I'm struggling with my steem motivation at this very moment and somehow it feels good others being in doubt about certain aspects as well. The system is far from perfect. It has a lot of merits, but also a lot of flaws.
What we often fail to see is that there are more sides to rewards and we have no way of differentiating. IMHO the two can accumulate the same reward amount but for different reasons. Let's consider only decent content for a moment, compare a decent blog articles with decent zappl post. A blog reward can be 'high' because people want to reward the effort of writing/research/insights/... A zappl post could be reward equally if a lot more people gave small votes, because the zappl post has a greater audience.
The problem is that there are too many different categories and the system works the same for all. Steem has a system of 'content' and rewards. It's the community that decides how to reward what content.
That sounds good in theory but as this steem experiment shows a lot more is involved. Where there's money and people, there's greed and so we have minimal input for maximal output, circle jerks, bots, ...
One of the issues is that there's a utopian idea of content self governance. The fact is that SP (money) governs the content, for better or worse. It remains a fact that one person with enough money can buy in and influence what gets rewarded and what not. At the same time a thousand minnows can write the greatest content and only getting pennies if the money doesn't like them. It's so freaking complex and it will stay like this for a while.
At the moment it all makes me feel too negative to stay around. It's too much about the money and the money does not reflect the value as I see it. (Not speaking for myself, I've done decently, I mean generally)
it is great from for braek the unreal issue which i catched
Brilliant! But do you really not vote for a witness?? Even a single one??? Well it is better than voting for the top 50 but you must vote for someone unless your are not an ignorant...
And i am a witness who pays for a server every month so you can come over here and type those words to get that 1.59 upvote including from my ownself... I wish Steemians can open their eyes and START VOTING for the people who deserves it.
I earn 0.96 SP every 2 months over my witnessing service. Since you have not cast any vote to anyone, i am going to ask you to vote for me at least. And i want to scream to every other steemians; STOP VOTING FOR TOP 50 and STOP BUILDING THE SAME PYRAMIDE in here aswell please^^
@rok-sivante you said it right sometimes with some words and a single picture you can convey a thousand ideas, that's the beauty of words. And i loved this one "Density does not always equate to value. Quantity does not equate to quality"
You know, I dont use Dmania or Zappl for these same reasons bro...
Im closer to cave in on Zappl rather than Dmania though, but it feels like Low Effort, and I absolutely abhor low effort.
Sometimes I see interesting news that affect the blockchain and think - a "tweet" about it to my audience would be cool. Then I think at people who have roughly $13 on auto-votes to me and go - nah, can't do it, it wouldn't be right, they are used to a certain standard.
This is definitely on my mind, I don't think I'll cave in as of now, maybe once I'm bigger and my audience already knows I work hard every day, so far I consider myself to be on the proving grounds still.
I think there is a difference if we want to develop our mindset. This is the difference, better one post but very high quality and many benefits from the many posts we send but not the least useful.

it's interesting to see how Steemit is developing into a platform like ETH. I think Steemit is more promising with the various Dapps.
Apparently, The said goal is 100,000 dapps on the Steem blockchain in the next few years.
Will be very interesting to see how all evolves, and what else may even leave Steemit in the dust...
It is said that in whenever direction you try to train your mind it goes on that direction only and slowly and steadily you start to get success no one gets overnight success..... Really appreciate your work of was creativity in you that has made such interesting article
@rok-sivante i feel zappl has potential to grow big because it is a new platform wherein you can directly take the efforts that you put to get steem followers in zappl no need to work from zero that's the biggest advantage!!
Good posts
Nice post
Great post i upvoted it
Great writing prowess. Check my page about animals treatment@afeezee
The #1 Thing To Do If You Want Upvotes (And Exactly What NOT To Earn Follwers And Respect)...
I never begged for upvote. I only told you what i post about. Is not a must to upvote me. I didnt beg for one. I work endlessly for my blog and upvote from my followers. Thank for sending me the info quite informative. Have known u quite a long time not even here on steemit. @rok-sivante
Thank you for this. It is a very informative piece. I am going to be using it as a handout to people I am on boarding under the auspices of @euronation.
@eurogee
We could have upvote you but ours doesnt count. Guess their are people like you that will upvote with good voting power. Nice write up
Please try read the pos he has shared so you get what he is trying to say. And 2ith that, you will surely get his upvote @afeezee
Alrighy thank you for that information. Am so much glad
Very good post
welcome to the short and styljsh world of zappl...👍 ..
good idea ser,.. should all social media use reward, hehe
Too many ideas on you
I feel you, rewards should be earned but like you said Quantity does not equate to quality. I see it like this if a artist posts a painting then that is a nice long article in its self, if a blogger writes a few paragraphs that's perfect for Steemit. But I guess that each platform has there niche formats like D.tube having videos and the new Zappl being like twitter. I like all your posts and think you will rock on Zappl so Zap on baby hahah
many many thanks to @zappl to bring a little world for communicating with us.
Zappl is an interesting concept, yet as far as I know a persons Zaps still show up in their blog timeline which is kind of clunky/messy IMHO. Would be nice if the interface could separate Zaps from blog posts etc. In regards to rewards I look at it like this. . . Would I be willing to pay a small amount for a valuable Tweet or something interesting that sparked up thought, conversation, or laughter on Twitter. And my answer is yes. Here is where the value lies in Zappl.
Zappl can't do much about the filter issues on other sites sadly. This is up to the host apps you use.
Zap it. Welcome to zappl
😂😂😂😂😂 yada yada yada that is my boss on it again. Is good to check out new 5hings that is how we learn daily. I see Zapl as a lazy way of earning also but you have explained it all so i might try it also @rok-sivante
Hello @rok-sivante
We have somewhat similar stance towards zappl front-end and I have been advising people against using it but after going through this piece, I will have to reconsider my stance. The decision for this was as a result of the following lines...
You hit the point in these quoted text.
However, I still maintain that new steemians who have not built loyal followers should stay clear of zappl until they garner traction within the community..
Very educative piece, though
@eurogee of @euronation community
Some create an alternative account for zappl only. But I think it's all the same to me, like you rightly pointed out, to make meaningful contribution in fewer words. Also, not to abuse the system like zapping the way I tweet on Twitter (I sometimes tweet 20 or more times there). If I'm to zap like that here they'd be trouble :)
Just to be Mr Pedantic, it offers 240, which is shy of Twitter’s 280!
As someone whose content can vary from hours to weeks in creation (covering James Zabiela and Ripperton recently absorbed most of a month, and three hours were poured into a Sasha write up last night that is still not finished) having an alt account to quickly realise thoughts and whims is excellent. It is no less in terms of emotion - I’m not slapping out word farts for $.
The alt account I feel is the important part. It doesn’t create a jarring split personality. It’s much like owning a Wordpress and Twitter account. Obviously everything gets dumped into the one place, which is going towards making Steemit looking very noisy. Hopefully the prospect of communities will help segment things a little. Zappl obviosuly manages itself by filtering out Steemit content, even simply editing a post over here will remove it from the app.
I feel it has its place, its value. More so than the throwaway brain fart of meme-ing, which half of the time feels a touch desperate. But if you’re up for this place, I’ll seek you out with my alt and see you in the feed! It’s very much early days on the app, but the discord is hoping to stimulate some community posting. (I’m keeping an eye out for the electronic music stuff.) Looking forward to UX refinements and discovery tools over the coming months.
you said it right sometimes with some words and a single picture you can convey a thousand ideas, that's the beauty of words. And i loved this one "Density does not always equate to value. Quantity does not equate to quality"
I like zappl but spam comment 😖
"To limit to posting only once - maybe twice - per day."
are you going to limit the post per day? if so then i think it will be good to ensure the quality of content
I guess with whatever medium you like to use the most, you gotta really position yourself well and not just be a spammer. No wait, spammer is too easy. More like another short-form rambler.
If you use Twitter, then you must try Zappl too, Why use a platform that doesn't reward you for YOUR content?.
That is interesting to writing
Happy to meet you sir @rok-sivante
post a nice, sometimes we hard also in choosing the system to make postings in order to get a bonus, so we new new sad if posts we not be able to thank you very much on postingannya hopefully so motivation for US all.
For writing this one I have not dared to say anything ...
it's little bit complicated to me, i don't know how to say
I started micro blogging with my minnow profil because I am tired sometimes to write big articles. We deserve a little break from tine to time. It’s social media After All!
I had no idea that DLive existed until I discovered it last night while staying up too late. This post just introduced me Zappl.
What type of social media platforms aren't already supported by the Steemit blockchain? I feel like I have been living under a rock.....
oh yeahhh... I may have heard of dLive at some point, but haven't kept up with news on it. needed to google to recollect what it was.
shall be interesting to see what all evolves in the years ahead on Steem...
Yeah for sure. Every time another application is added to the block chain I feel like the case for STEEM as an investment gets more solid.
