RE: Word Cloud for Steemit Roadmap 2018: Community Input
Absolutely. What we really need is a way to engage the newest members and give them a boost to start of on the site. It can be very hard starting off and I am guessing that we lose a lot of people in their first month on here as they don't see any progress. The more active and enthusiastic members that we have the better.
And better for the future.
@niallon11, being one of those people your talking about I totally agree with you.
To be honest I joined to look at the platform from an investing perspective mainly, expecting more of the typical type of social media,,,,But what I found was so much more!
I've been here for a couple of week's just looking around learning and getting a feel for the platform and still will for another couple of weeks before posting an intro post, but at the moment I feel that a lot of people who come from regular social media outlet's could do with something to add entertaining interaction (other than total public interaction, like a playground environment) that could earn small reward's.
Steemit is still so new that a lot of the content isn't as layman as the other outlet's so something to keep new people easily entertained could help them spend more time here.
You're right about that. Even since I joined a couple of months ago there has been new features added that have improved things with many more in the works.
What it will take is the combined effort of steemit users to make it more accessible for the new members so that they do interact and stay. At the moment it is heavily geared towards the crypto community which won't interest most social media users. I found that myself as only having a passing interest in crypto.
When the new smart media tokens come online next year I think that we will see a much bigger push towards developing more mainstream sites on the steem blockchain which should bring a lot more people into the system and increase the value of steem. Now is the right time to be getting involved here before it kicks on.
Blockchain brought me here but the crypto here kept me here, lol. I need to look into those SMT's again, I glanced it the other day and it looked good in concept( I'm still new to the larger crypto thing).
I hope your right, this platform has so much potential, from being here what I've came to understand about how the chain works, it truly is next level.
Same as. I would never have heard of steemit if I wasn't researching cryptos. Nobody I know has ever heard of it either until I introduced them but I'm here now and fairly addicted. Looking forward to SMT's. I think they are a game changer.
I looked up the SMT's today and it wasn't what I thought it was, I was thinking of Simple Token which will be a similar non-smart concept with business and industry.
I hope your right about the SMT's, they really do look like they will make thing's much easier and thank you for mentioning them.
I've found a new token that looks very promising, I'll make a post about it in a day or two after I've spent more time having a deeper look, this one look's like a world changer.
