RE: Dreaming of 'earning' a living just tossing about on steem..... or roll on $5 steem!
Yep to all the rest but this is an interesting thing to consider too:
Tokenisation of other social media sites could make steem less unique… I’m sure it’s coming: micro-rewards for posting to Facebook etc…. like a loyalty scheme.
Imagine if they did that, what would change in their platform? Will add revenue support it? will they be able to do it feeless transaction - international laws? All the people who are there now, would they stay if FB gets flooded with alts?
I have considered it and I don't think it is quite so easy for them, especially with such a top heavy business model.
I was thinking along the lines of supermarket rewards points ('tokens')... they could do it by making them super low value, like those points cards. The average user would lap it up, feeling as though they're getting extra, when in reality they're just being made to be more loyal.
People are very stoopid don't forget!
Yep, that is the way it could work but even then, people aren't ready for the scam that'll flood there feeds and, will people need to open up their accounts publicly in order to get any chance? Lot's of questions and I tihnk that whichever way it goes, it would fundamentally change the platform and that would make people look elsewhere in and of itself.
Yes I guess it could make people look elsewhere!
I do think the whole social media landscape will be very different in 10 years time.
Hopefully by which time I'll be self-sufficient and very off-grid.
Not quite ready that yet though.
