RE: Is money the wrong incentive on steemit?
the problem is also,
ppl come here to post but not to read posts.
Browsing content is not fun at all, the User interface is just not welcoming ppl who want to mindlessly browse through posts, tags are hard to organize, upvoting new content has little reward for the user,
what if the content you upvote in the new section is really good, but upvoting early gives you no incentive, so whats the point going through the fresh section and spending your time in finding good posts.
while creating content is done with good tools, browsing the content is not rewarding, it takes forever to find a good article in a tag(that you have to reclick everytime you open steemit)
Im waiting for a new platform called sapien.network to launch, ill probably leave steemit behind once better platforms are up and running.
Busy.org goes some way to make the reading process more interesting, with a cleaner UI and a suggested post feature (which tends to prioritise whales).
