RE: Morning Musings: How Steemit is Changing my Approach to Content Creation
Yes this IS an awesome place and I too and very appreciative of it. While many of the other sites were trying to build a community one thing was glaringly lacking: meaningful compensation. No one can put in the time to write any decent content as well as develop and maintain a network of friends if their efforts resulted in mere pennies.
The advertising model for revenue is increasingly outdated, in my opinion. People are getting sick of the idea that everywhere we turn, there's pressure to BUY and CONSUME something. There are other content platforms that compensate contributors... I have tried pretty much all of them... and the simple FACT is that advertising page views are worth about $1.50 per 1000, which is near to nothing.
