RE: Steemit Age Demographic and Gender Evolution and the North America vs Europe comparison
"18-24 year olds stilldrop off by about half" Sad to see this. As one who is part of that category, wish we can spend more time on intellectual discussions than hip "frivolities". Any signs this is changing soon?
We get a lot of misdirected hits from music sites, that probably skews the figures more drastically for that age group. Since they don't find what they were originally looking for.
Why? I don't fall in that demographic but I'll up vote a funny cat video.
I don't wanna see just intellectual shit brought forth on this site I wanna see everything brought forth on this site. So what if 18-24 year olds are attracted to stupidity (for the most part) it is what it is, let's provide some stupid yet attractive content for them and watch steemit thrive. Intellectual conversations aren't worth anything if they don't draw traffic (obviously there's value in the information but I'm speaking in Internet terms) so a funny meme could easily be worth more then a well written article in Internet land.
Don't get me wrong I'm 100% pro knowledge, self growth, progression, all that shit, but I also don't wanna limit this site either. I up vote everything I enjoy be it gaming, law, politics, crypto's, funny shit, cute animals, if I enjoy it I up vote it. That's how I believe we can reach a billion users. Additonallh that's how, if we reach a billion users we now have 1/7th of the population globally using crypto's, think of the potential 😍 And I'm gushing lol.
I agree. I'm assuming that the drop might be cos majority of posts here are intellectual. Of course, as steemit user base grows, there would be variety in posts that reach the hot/trending homepage. I love funny videos too. ;)
That's exactly what I'm thinking too, right now steemit is filled with crypto enthusiasts which seem to be relatively forward thinking, intelligent people.
As the user base changed and evolves and we see a wider variation of users and the content will also change. We'll still have all the intellectual informative information, but it will be accompanied with a ton of other topics as well catering to a variety of different audiences.
