RE: How we want to grow the Steem blockchain
Good idea but at times I feel discouraged to talk to people about steem yet because the discovery of good content is still limited and those who take in so much effort to put up an original content that inspire and add value to the community don't get good rewards because they don't have good steem power while those with good steem power either donate it to bots or use it for their personal interest only.
I have alot of people who are tired of the platform because they don't get good rewards to their post and some have even abandoned their accounts, so bringing in more people without settling the issue of rewarding quality write ups will result to bringing in people that will eventually leave out of frustration.
Most of my posts are in cents and highest 4 dollars when @teardrops picks my post and @surpassinggoogle votes it as he on the trail.
Am not against the initiative but if the problem on ground is not solved then we might only be creating more problem.
@inspiredgideon1 I understand your frustration. And it is true that due to bots that curation has dropped, however like every platform only posting good content is not enough to be discovered, yes there are lucky ones, but in these cases these person kept putting out quality content. Steemit is more than just posting, it is a true "social" media in which you interact with people. If you compare steemit to other platforms like youtube or facebook, I am quite certain the changes of being discovered there is much lower, and even if you are, you won't earn as much as on Steemit.
And there are many ways to get noticed on Steemit. You just have to research where to look. For example if you join promo-mentors we have curators there that will look at your guaranteerd if you join one of our workshops.
And sometimes if you have posted for a long time, you might need to reflect on yourself if you are truly putting out quality. If your posts are indeed are enjoyable to read to others. If you join our community you can get honest feedback on this. And there are many more people and communities that are aiming to support each other.
Maybe you should look a little bit further :)
You should join our community! @inspiredgideon1
