RE: Why I'm seriously considering giving up on Steemit. Plus TITS!
I spent an hour posting up offering open source plans for an electric bike that I designed five years ago that's still ten years ahead of it's time and made $0.03 on it, checked the trending page and not one post could possibly have any positive impact on anyone's life, except maybe a laugh or two. I'm just worried that I'm at a KKK party trying to hand out Kwanzaa invitations again.
I'm not surprised to be honest, it's sad really. I feel like people don't even read threads on this forum, they just scan for popular content. People should be incentivize to upvote what they like, not the most popular stuff.
I've gotten into a few good discussions. It just depends on the topic and who you run into. I'm sure some more stable discussion groups will form over time.
I could EASILY game this system and make a bunch of money. Heck, if I deployed the tiny inner capitalist that's still barely clinging to life inside my head, I'd probably crash the site. Spreading knowledge and building community is a million times more important to me than making money though.
