RE: Not Everything is HOT or TRENDING: How Our Obsession with Popularity Shrinks our Choices
I have a ebay sellers account since 2014 and I do remember these time.
it was a time when big stores were out of this market and I could catch some hot products and sell them there. But not now. The competition makes a profit so tiny and it's not reasonable to do this any more.
Of course you are right. Racing to hot, trendy and fashionable things always works against racer. It takes a lot of money and energy and always brings nothing as a result (in better cases. For worse scenarios it brings only loss).
I can see that #Steem now in a prototype of a better world, when everyone can keep his individuality and, from the other hand, would survive and grow together.
Thank you for the theme
For me, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself. And that might mean your contributions are very similar every day (because you have a "theme") or it may mean they are extremely different every day... and that is also OK.
"Trendy" has just not ever worked for me.
I think Steemit might just be able to take a step towards creating a better world for all of us... time will tell.
