RE: Time budgeting vs being managed by time (featuring @jacor as author)
It is hard to come up with the time needed to put out quality posts. Especially most having full time jobs and family. I see this all changing in the future. Most users are tying to get on the "trending page". I see this evolving over time here at Steemit. I think that people or users will do more SEARCHES for the content they like. Like I do when I go to YouTube. I go strait to the search bar an look for my favorite things. That's how I see it going here when it grows to hundreds of thousands of users. Then you would want to just write on your favorite topic or passion. Maybe you will want to be on the "trending page" of YOUR category. Anyway, when everyone stops trying to get to the main page I think users will look at the site in an entirely new way. Good Post. :)
You couldn't have said it better @peacekeeper . I am also using Steemit with the future in mind, and allthough my votes don't count for much at the moment, it will through time. I am trying to vote for a variety of good content. You will see in my post What topics are trending on Steemit , when you remove the Steemit and Introduceyourself tag, we are building a community of diversity.
For those Non-technical newbies who are struggling to search on the site - Use the following in the Google Search Type search steemit.com "Your search Criteria"
Very good piece on "what topics are trending" Jacor.
Here is the thing, Most average writers will never see the main page or "trending page". There is a growing talent entering the Steemit Community everyday and I don't expect to compete with these brilliant writers and bloggers. What I do think I can do in compete in my area of interest or my hobby. I think a lot of the non-skilled users believe they will come in here and attempt post after post trying to make it to the trending page.
Time will tell if this cycle can be broken or redirected to some sort of middle ground. I am very excited about the possibilities of Steemit. I just hope we don't forget about that diversity because the platform will need it in the long term.
