RE: Setting Group Goals for Steem
Goal setting is a good thing. However quantity is not nessasarily quality. Additionally it is my feeling that the focus of blogging on the STEEM bloclchain is slowly shifting.
It has been my belief for some time now that STEEM is slowly moving away from its one trick pony status of trying to be a mini multi media. That role is slowly being supplanted by dApp traffic and rewards.
@taskmaster4450 recently documented this shift by scientifocally laying out the numbers.
Just the fact that so many posts are navel gazing (this post a good example) should make it obvious that this is a wonderful (and unique from most other crypto communities) communication tool. Our own bitcointalk.org on our blockchain, if you will. A tool that puts personalities on a hash address.
In my mind we do not need more posts for the sake of posts. More is not nessasarily better. STEEM's success will be with more innovative dApp development which will shift STEEM toward more a utility token and less a currency token.
But as Randy Bachman so eloquently put it, "Any love is good lovin, so I took what I could get." 😎
We aint seen nothin' yet!
I agree that blogging isn't our only focus, so what are your thoughts on more activity in the other places?
It's my position that the endusers are the ones playing the games and doing other things.
Regarding the quality of posts, have you seen twitter or Facebook, both of which are out performing us.
Once someone figures out the means to distribute those ad revenues via the inflationary rewards mechanism as well as rewarding users to watch them, then we shall probably want less stake holders not more... that is if you are presently a profit driven capitalist stake holder of STEEM. Such an investor would want only high quality content creators to drive traffic; yet as few stake holders as possible with which to share those profits.
Not only high quality content can drive traffic. Just see Facebook, for example.
You realize that is proved incorrect by every other social media site.
lol
You mean there is a corporate social media site which is paying users to view ads and distributing the ad revenue with users/stake holders? Sign me up!
There was at least one. For example Tsū since 2014, but they closed the website in 2016. Although it is set to return. We will see.
