RE: Do you remember Myspace?

in #rants5 years ago (edited)

I did have a few songs up on Myspace as a solo songwriter but I wasn't as big into it at the time. I am not convinced that blogging is a particularly good use case for the steem blockchain, blogging is kinda a dying (or at least, becoming super niche) internet form for old people, and the addition of money rewards almost seems to actually make things worse as far as the interactions that happen. (EDIT - I say, as an old person who likes blogging LOL)

EDIT part two wow myspace.com is still around, I found some of my old songs. They don't seem to play for me though

Somehow I believe blogging is still thriving. I still read a lot in Medium. For younger generation, maybe blogging should be shorter, more visuals, more like tiktok video.

Yeah, I aggree, blogging maybe not the best use of a blockchain technology. Gaming is (IMO).

But the idea of tribes is good. I like that. As long as people use it for meaningful interaction and not just about the rewards. Having good rewards is great ofc, but having meaningful interaction, i think that's the real value. And then come the question, is steem a blockchain platform, or a blogging platform? Haha.

I'm not techy enough to grasp the whole idea of this platform. Turns out I just love to read content by real people from different parts of the globe.

As for myspace.. ah, I just realize that my songs were also unplayable too. Perhaps they deleted our files, but keep the database. LOL.
