RE: Steempoll Update | Moving Towards A Better Product Fit
Does anyone talk to anyone on Steemit.com? If it has been abandoned, don't you think that a new site should be created the way Busy.org was created? You, @steemchiller, and the rest of the Steemit Dev Group talk to each other so will have a better perspective of what is going on. I just learned today that Justin Sun is no longer the CEO of Tron.
Just tell me if I am out to lunch. I won't devote any more time on the subject. I have taken small businesses to make annual earnings of $50 million. If this is my last hurray, I would like it to top $1 Billion.
The engagement has definitely gone down. However, we are in touch with other devs even on discord. Some of us are working on some really cool stuff as well. Not sure how many of those would materialize. But, someone's gotta do something right?
Could you find out the actual numbers? We could discuss this on Discord, but I would like to have a record of this conversation, so it is above board.
I post on Steem instead of Hive because I have established friendships here, and I like most of the people's ethos. Despite Ned's shortcomings, while he was the face of Steem, he had a vision. I am not sure there has been the same leadership since.
I applaud the efforts behind #club5050, #club70, and #club100. I applaud the efforts of those developing new applications. We are missing an opportunity, though. We have people living in or close to some of the hotspots in the world. We could be publishing articles by these people in a way that would increase their prestige and the prestige of the Steem Environment as a whole. Instead of competing with Facebook, we might position some Steem Community to compete with Reuters.
Last year Reuters had $6.348 in Gross Revenue. Do we have 2500 Steemians in 200 locations around the world? We might facilitate the sale of content to Reuters for those Steemians. How valuable would Steem be if some fraction of $250 million of it was purchased every year? How many Devs are there? How good could Steem become if they were paid over $100k per year?
At this point, this is all conjecture/vapourware. How interesting would it be if a proof of life post (ie. the first post of the day) would be $3 more than the daily salary in Nigeria.
Please mention this to other Devs and Witnesses and ask if they would be interested if I came up with a Business Plan and a checklist of things we might need to put this proposition into play.
PS It has been years since I exchanged messages with Roger Ver. If done properly he might be interested.
You could share this over in things-to-share channel. I'm sure many there would be interested
Should you remove the discord link? I've posted and will see if anyone messages me.
