Be part of a feature on Steem for VICE Motherboard

As I mentioned in my first post, I'm a journalist and new to the Steemit community. As such, I'm very interested in its potential as a new funding model for journalism, but would also like to take into account criticisms that have been levelled at it and try to understand how it is likely to develop going forward.

I will be writing a feature on Steemit for VICE Motherboard, and am looking for sources who can talk to me about their experience using the platform, especially:

  • Writers who have been able to make large amounts of money through the platform, or sums comparable to more conventional freelance work.
  • Users who have invested their own money in Steem.
  • Users who have been involved with the platform since the early stages.
  • Anyone who has experienced negative aspects of the community they are willing to share.
  • Anyone with an unconventional story relating to Steem.

I need to be able to fact-check any information provided so you need to be happy with going on record with the information, i.e. I won't be able to include any anonymous claims.

If you'd like to talk you can reach me through Twitter as @corintxt where I have open DM's, alternatively my email is in the format [email protected] (you'll see my name on Twitter). Of course feel free to comment directly on this post too, or tag another user who fits the above criteria.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey @corintxt - someone told me to come over here and say hello :)
I am @fyrstikken - I joined about a month ago, and this place is absolutely fantastic.

a quick history of my social media life
I´ve got 18,000 youtube-subscribers and 20,000+ twitter followers and 3000+ facebook friends that I am more or less abandoning/bringing over to steemit.com as I´m no longer committed to spend any time on social networks or content-networks that waste my time.

Steemit is where the action is

#steemit is where the action is, and I have a feeling the corporate social medias including a bunch of traditional medias will either die or having to re-invent themselves and become visible on steemit.com to have a future, or end up somewhat like MySpace.

Steemit changes the game for everyone - and since you cannot beat it - join it

I welcome you to take a look at my blog over at @fyrstikken I make cartoons, videos, entertainment, comedy, articles - and will keep doing it for steemit.

Hey @corintxt Good to see Vice getting into this. I'm a documentary maker from Amsterdam and I'm going to use Steemit as a "behind the scenes" platform while I'm working on a new documentary.

As you can see there is not much of a film community around here, yet. I have some thoughts on that though.

This is a post about the documentary I'm currently working on

Thanks for the reply, and the email, let's carry on the discussion!

Wow, nice! I love VICE magazine. I can't wait to see what you'll write about!

I got in pretty early, but I'm too lazy to write to you.

I'm very interested in your offer! I've sent you a mail!

Thanks, I just saw the mail, will follow up.

Welcome. VICE is a great network. I would mind talking about Steemit.

I like VICE!
I can bring some interesting feedback about how the community managed platform criticism after the Steemit Debate here https://steemit.com/steemit/@andrew0/the-great-steemit-debate-and-the-good-community-response-to-my-heavy-criticism
and of course I give you the link to the critics I did after debate
