RE: Give power to newbies
Correct, I should be happy that at least some of them see my content.
Though I think it's a bit pessimistic to say we need to look elsewhere for quality content.
It might be true for now, given the extreme influx of new users, but I personally hope we figure out a way to kill off the massive influx of spam and abuse that we have right now.
I'll keep filtering out content, trying to find the hidden gems and otherwise following the posts of the few people whose content I like.
well my advice is you will get much more satisfaction if an expert appreciates your work rather than social media followers :-)
Yeah, that's true.
But then, I use steemit:
as a kind of way to express myself on things I find interesting, and share them with others.
as training wheels for writing, as simply writing in a notebook isn't really motivating enough for me to be able to do it relatively consistently.
On steemit I can use the psychological "random-reward" factor to keep me motivated to post content, in the hopes of making content good enough that people will like it.
Also, the post rewards I get on Steemit are pretty much destined either for investment in other cryptocurrencies without needing to go through the hassle of converting fiat currency to Bitcoin, or for investment into the platform itself, as I believe it's one of the few blockchain technologies that actually has a defined vision other than "be a currency".
So I'm not exactly aiming for it to become a primary source of income. it's just kind of, well, fun to share all my experiences with the world !
you think Steemit has future? i worry that with all these copy-paste content when it grows there will be huge problems
Maybe not in its current form.
We might need to adapt it to avoid this awful copypasta mess, so I guess it deoends a lot on the developers.
Afterall, the founder left the project to create EOS
In any case, it'll have been worth it to be here, if only for the chance of participating in @papa-pepper's Steempocalypse competition XD
