The Importance of Non-Crypto Related Content On Steemit
Hi, all! This is Biddle again and I wanted to talk about a topic that I consider important regarding Steemit, which is the posting of content that isn't related to cryptocurrency. While it is very important to include content about cryptocurrency to work toward its mass adoption, it is also important to make sure that that isn't all that is posted about. There is already a good mix, which is good to see and I hope that the trend continues and accelerates so that we see more and more varying topics on this site.
ATTRACTION
The goal of users of steemit and the admins, witnesses, and moderators should be to attract a larger and larger audience, a majority of which are likely not very interested in tech, nor interested much in crypto. To attract them the things we can write about are:
- The reward system and the incentive for joining and contributing, of course.
- A wide variety of non-tech/non-crypto related content, so that they are attracted to the site in general as a means of gathering information, navigating their daily life and media consumption (Facebook is heavily used and I think the fact that you can find anything there just adds to its success).
The more that we write about and flesh out subsections related to all topics, the more people we will be able to attract to the site and bring on board with the vision of Steemit and its benefits. I'd love it if there were 1,000,000 active Steemit users. That would be a beautiful thing, not to mention that everyone would benefit from it. It will help the crypto movement as well, which is something that is very dear to me, so I just want to make sure that we continue to support and celebrate non-crypto content, because it is a very important part of the platform.
agreed! trying to do my part :)
We love reading your cocktail posts, keep it up!
thanks!
You're absolutely right..upvoted and followed you
Thanks! :)
you're welcome
Your opinion es very valuable biddle, I totally agree with your point of view, the diversity in the topics and interest will push steemit even further in the near future!
Thank you, my friend! Hopefully we can keep the Steemit movement going! :)
You hit the nail on the head here. Some people still are not sure what crypto is and think it is like colluding with Russians to steal a presidency. If all we write about is stuff that most people don't get or are scared of we are missing a huge market. Of course steem is the whole foundation of steemit and is a growing currency and people will have to one day start learning about steem but we need to get them here. Let them see how nice and helpful everyone is. Then we can gradually take them to the dark side...Into the dangerous world of crypto....(So Fake News!) Love your post. Thanks for sharing. I 100% agree!
Amen! and thank YOU! :)
I absolutely agree. Without non-crypto content, what use will most have for Steemit? I have found some excellent photography and poetry, which is encouraging, but the bulk of the content is crypto-related.
Exactly!
Yeah, I figure there's people that know a lot more about crypto than I do, so I tend not to post much about it. I just write about interesting stuff that comes across my day!
That's great; exactly what will help the community grow! I think the best thing is to write about whatever you're passionate about!
Or about our problems, as humans, and ways to solve them.
