RE: The Celebrity Promo Trap

Let's become antifragile, Steemit!

Taleb would definitely like that you need to have "skin in the game" aka Steem Power in order to benefit properly from the platform.

Would it go against your entire article if Taleb started posting here instead of medium?

Eventually high-profile, quality content creators will start to migrate to steemit (sorry, medium).

I'm thinking if people like Taleb, Sam Harris maybe Tim Ferris or similarly-statured public thinkers/intellectuals started blogs here, I think that would be a good thing. Maybe the leaders within each of the communities created around those people would also become bigger fish on steemit?

Maybe creating steemit wealth within that community instead of focused on the main person is possible?

I certainly agree with the main thrust of your post, but I also don't want to scare off every person with a following. The individual communities that could be created within steemit could benefit everyone. Maybe we just need to not shower them with upvotes right away? Make them earn their stripes?

I don't know what the right answer is, but it's certainly worth thinking about as steemit continues to grow.

Thanks for your posts! I've really been enjoying them. You're one of the reasons I'm making steemit my first stop online these days.

Very thoughtful comment! I am also thinking that they will be valuable IF they get to enjoy with the rest. The point here is to get the RIGHT celebrities.

Yes, the ones that understand the platform and are looking to add value and share it with their community. Not the ones looking to milk their followers for more money. I think we're on the same page.
