RE: What is it about STEEM that its tanking so hard? // An open letter to STEEMIT.INC
Well, the way I see it, is if the outside world views this platform as STEEM, they're going to come here, so this place should shine at showing the world what STEEM truly is, not make them guess. They've been coming here for months only to be told Steemit isn't STEEM. Well then WTF is STEEM? Then you gotta dig and come across posts like this or worse and the place screws itself up the ass instead of showing the world what STEEM is, since they're here, because they thought STEEMIT was STEEM. One could easily place icons with links leading to all of the other apps that reside under a header that says, "We are STEEM." Right on the front page. Clear as day.
One of the easiest ways to market something is to take what people think and use it to your advantage. Instead, some of these folks want to change how people think, and that doesn't work, ever.
Yes. People need to be shown, the first step they take. I think Smooth for that very reason made the proposal he did.
I think that should be the focus point, how do we explain what Steem is.
I think thats another failure of Steemit.inc.
They are basically in the way of other dapps when they offer their service for free.
Not only did Steemit become Steemit.incs downfall since they cant cover costs but they are constraining the growth and success of other dapps by giving away everything for free.
Where I stand, now. Sorry to say, I don't really care. I'm seeing a lot of this drama unfold and viewing it more as a distraction, not helping anything. The conversation, though it's always good to share ideas, is a waste of my time. Nothing personal, just in general.
:D
It is isnt it.
Between you and me... Even though i try to make valid points in these types of posts... i wouldnt do this for a second if it wasnt fun. ;)
I get it. 100%. There's no business like show business. LOL
