RE: Ranking The Top Ten Blockchain Social Media Platforms
The biggest issue on Steem is likely to fall to their bid bots
Yeah but that's not really a fault of STEEM. That's just a handful of people making things crappy for everyone else. Look how much they earned compared to how much you'll be earning with this post today. All they really do is sit and wait for the next sucker to walk in the door and hand over their money.
You also say it's difficult for the new folks. This isn't supposed to be easy. There are people on Youtube who've been producing content steady for over five years and many of them have yet to see a dime. A supportive following is something one needs to build. They certainly won't get a supportive following by purchasing votes either. If one buys the votes with value, who's left to vote? One of the biggest promoters of bidbots has a large following. When he posts now, he earns very little. He's proof his own system works against producers. I won't mention names though.
Thanks for a positive review though.
I agree with what you've said. It is difficult for new folks, but still more rewarding than any legacy platform, that's why Steem is in the top. The issue with relying on Steem for your finance though is half off the users of this platform who stopped using it after the crash.
but the half that stayed is made of super hardcore believers ;)
I see your point, it feels like Steem is not following Bitcoin's bull run like it did last time but neither are most smaller crypto.
Ya but the crash drove us into a better perspective. While a lot of the users fled with the drop in price the rest of us regrouped pushed development and went even harder. Things have really been ramped up in the last 6 months in terms of strengthening the blockchain firstly and now with applications and functionality. If we keep going at this rate it should be a much better place to operate by xmas.
I fully agree on that. They are also becoming more transparent and Steemit has reached out to me to do some educational stuff and some interviews so I'm definitely impressed with the initiative. I still think they are the most profitable and could easily get back to being the absolute best. I'd like Steem to be the best, but I feel it's critical I be unbiased.
I agree, people who have the potential to be follower material won't be impressed by bid bot induced exposure and keep looking for quality content.
