RE: Steem is back in the top 50.
I've always wondered why Steem isn;t more popular, or ratehr Steemit. So many creators I;ve spoken to just thnk it's a scam... I proved to them I cashed out some. "Hmm, sounds like a pyramid scheme"- NO! Giving all your personal data to Facebook, them selling it to marketers while you make nothing for your content AND get algorithmed out of existence if you don't pay is a pyramid scheme.
Ahh, that's a nice argument to make. Instead of giving out everything you own to random and sometimes malicious actors on sites that treat you as a product rather than a customer, Steemit has huge potential to empower its users.
I have tons of connections with creative people who put out fresh content regularly. But, how do I get people to believe in it? Almost everyone I tell about it thinks it's a scam. Especially now that cryptos are low..
