RE: Steemit Just Launched The Promoted Content Section - Read All Of The Details Now
very good point. The more artificiality you have in a system that is trying to be authentic, the further it gets away from being authentic. Wouldn't this have been better for steemit if they had announced this before the weekend, so that we could have discussed this on here and given some genuine feedback, before they acted?
Great points @paulpuk2000! And I'd have to agree with you that an announcement before launching the new Promoted section would have been great. An announcement would have also helped the community get prepared but also provide feedback to Steemit before the launch.
My guess is that this new Promoted section is something that was in the pipelines for quite some time, and they rushed to deploy it. This could have been in due part to other decentralized social networks launching or updating their features, and maybe, just maybe, Steemit wanted to stay ahead of the curve and keep their users by offering the new Promoted section.
This is all speculation of course, but a heads-up would have been nice.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @paulpuk2000.
Cheers!
