RE: WHY WE NEED TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT STEEMIT IS!

in #steemit7 years ago

Probably the comparison is that they are both social media oriented platforms where you post content that people either upvote or downvote..

Interesting rant tho. Once steemit leaves beta, which apparently might be soonish. I think it'll be branded appropriately.

Sort:  

I was thinking the same thing, probably just thinking too quickly and grabbed Facebook for example of a Social Media platform

Agreed, they will probably have to get better at marketing

Well, I mean in the past, I've definitely said:

  • "It's kinda like facebook and reddit mixed together somewhere except..."

Now I usually say something closer to:

  • Steem is a blockchain and a crypto currency. Steemit.com is a website that operates on the blockchain called Steem where you make original blog posts and earn money. Basically, the currency is mined by producing and reviewing good original content.

Yeah lets hope so, because it will do the platform little good to continue calling itself a social network like facebook

Steemit is definitely way more interesting to me than facebook now a days. I barely go on there. Just to post about my upcoming gigs and keep up with some friends and fam.
