RE: My Reservations About Steemit - Is This Really Too Good To Be True?
Great post!
I feel like with the bad stuff aside, Steemit does have a lot of potential. I feel lik we will see a lot of changes pretty soon that will affect our ability to make money on the platform.
Did you hear about the new rule thats supposed to go into affect soon? That will switch out the Trending a bit quicker? Every 12 hours
I feel like this will impact the way Steemit works, Also I'm noticing fairly newbies making it up there. Which Is good!
I think Steemit needs some time too! So many people are plagiarizing and posting garbage. This isn't a get rich quick scheme. I'm not saying everyone who writes high value content will make a ton of money, Because there is a chance, Like you said They'll never be noticed by dolphins or Whales.
I feel like marketing is also the key to being successful on Steemit, Using great headlines and photos, Then you need to promote your article on Facebook, Twitter and other sites.
Not all my articles do very well either, But I notice the articles I more heavily market tend to do much better than the ones that I "post and leave".
I'm hoping that the junk creators will go elsewhere and more quality content will be posted. I feel like Whales will be a bit more generous with their voting, It seems as though they are scared and they can't possibly sift through all the trash being posted everyday.
Also I would love to see Steemit make an ability to easily find subjects you are more interested in, So you can focus on curating content that most represents what you enjoy in life.

Your post needs max visibility, so UP-V0TE! :)
I did hear about the new rule, and that's awesome! I hope that works out for the better, so we see less people discouraged by not being able to hit $22,000 in their posts . Also, I hear that there will be a rule that diminishes rewards after posting more than 4, or so, times a day. That should help with a lot of the drudgery that indeed the whales must sift through.
Also, marketing is a MUST. Even if we are the new Reddit, it's still also a wonderful marketing venue to consider, as we look at the ones you already suggested.
I'm excited to see how we move forwards, as I'm still definitely invested quite a bit, as are you. This has very very huge potential, and I hope that it lives to see it. Thanks for the very thoughtful comment and support, as always, Kaylin Art. Cheers!

I think your post is very good because it addresses the main concerns but yet still talks about how Steemit is really cool and has a lot of potential. I feel like the issues will get ironed out and hopefully even know the follow button doesn't work people are still getting noticed. You, Craig Grant, and Trevon James and Andrarcy are 4 of the main people I recognize on here after being here for a week. Keep getting noticed and then when everything is fixed you will have a big surge because people are following and seeing your post as they come out. Great post!
Thanks, man! Craig Grant, and Trevon have been quite active on YouTube as well as I for some time, so it's pretty interesting that we've managed to have a scene here as well. Your support definitely means alot, as I'm coming across your name quite a bit myself- and that's gonna help you much in the long run as well, since you are coming up and being noticed more and more by peepz, in these early days.
