And what are YOU doing about it>? Cause IMHO, you are part of the problem. Well we all are... me included. You have the ability( lots of SP ) to do something about it; the rest of us, less so. Hell with all that steem you could even pay some writers to post some good content on the blockchain.
Steem is not about writers posting good content it has not been that way for a while, in the end this is a social platform, meaning anything from toilet humour to novels can get posted. The system is designed to trust people that is the problem with anything making the system not protect itself properly by making reward easier than punishment. Just a cool video -
people = shit FYI mmm on second thought punishment might not be all the central, the platform is allowing the devs to dictate where we go, thus the interfaces have the responsibility to weed out bad members of communities.
People get punished for writing quality content on Steem because they don't get compensated for the amount of time they spent generating the post.
MSM is similar. People get punished for telling the truth and rewarded for telling the propaganda.
The story of every struggling artist anywhere, it is not steem or the people on steems obligation to go around rewarding everyone who might have put their blood, sweat and tears into their work. Then some dipshit writes something "inspirational" and even though the idiots can see he boosted the fuck out of it they still go and vote on his content, because they want the overflow. What can I say it is not a perfect world and we can't expect online to be any different from real life.
There are plenty of great youtube creators who just don't get the recognition they deserve but I am pretty sure they work a 100 times harder than most people who create great content on here because they understand that if that is your goal and not just posting crap and being happy with what you get then you need to market the hell out of it, given it is a bit more difficult on steem , but if that is your blog, your time and you are passionate about it you will do your utmost not to even only be reliant on steem in general for writers there are options like whatpadd many better options I imagine for video, audio , hosting your own site or a free domain and running steempress so you can make a bit more purely from advertising avenues.
I am not saying that any of it is fair all I am saying is acknowledge how much can truly be done, and until someone on their little white pony comes along it is best to figure out what you wish to change and find avenues for that change. Steem is no ones saviour not yet, it is just a tool and as such we have many tools at our disposal online.
What is MSM?
MSM = Main Stream Media.
Steem = not Fair
Life = not Fair
Therefore
Steem = Life
Don't bother trying to fix Steem until the social fabric, which Steem is built on, is made right....
Ah that makes sense thank you. Yes true, should get a tshirt with Steem = Life, but we do it anyway. Too cryptic? dunno.
Yes it may sound all doom and gloom but I do think a person should also not succumb to that thinking, I acknowledge that something is shit then decide to not be shit yourself, it pisses a person off to get your hopes up and watch it burn because of others , but would you then rather want to be in their position? Unlike society with the tech we are fortunate enough that progress goes much faster so not all hope is lost but don't put all your eggs in one basket if I were to use at least one analogy that is not mixed. It is quite simple, don't care too much but don't stop caring.
Ok I have talked enough shit now, time to go ahead and shit post. This is my shit post account after all since that is how we see all the media that does not fit into our little idea of steem blogging right?
