RE: New Content Platform: ex-Netflix & -Amazon Video Team turns to Decentralization
dunno but i am honestly a bit tired to see your ads in trending, whether taking rewards or not. I think it is ok to see dev posts and apps in trending now, what else would you put there? Last but not least, you speak twice of Steem failing while we are still searching and growing, downvoted

There's only one failure referenced towards STEEM, and that too at something specific: content strategy That is evidenced by Steemit's MoM traffic drop:
Not long ago, the visits were 50M+.
MoM heavy visit falls and a strikingly high bounce rate are not good. The reasoning for that IS that trending is usually full of nothing but dev posts. Acceptance of problems are the first step towards their resolution.
I even cited that most of STEEM's traffic is from search engines, ergo people who do not use it at present. Showing them that this site has nothing but its own dev content is absurd. It's the equivalent of a search-sourced user completing a Medium article and then subsequently being led to a series of Medium's dev updates.
Lastly, I don't give two-bits about your downvote. I wrote this to offer you some insight, which you probably aren't interested in, but could be beneficial to other onlookers.
Yeah. It's counterproductive to place internal memos in the top slots and push the arts and entertainment, along with everything, aside.
Paid promotions sitting in top slots is bad for business as well, since that's basically asking the consumer to tune in to the television channel that only shows advertisements. Your post is an advertisement/paid promotion. It's not in this slot because it's popular. Don't take that personally. It's only the truth.
There are many other frontends. Part of the decline is due to the fact even a websearch can lead someone to a different frontend to view the content that is also here on Steemit. Plenty of tribes, apps for mobile, etc.
Like I said, this is as much an ad as are the present Cointelegraph headlines. Industry updates are a low-hanging content consumption fruit. Meanwhile, art is very niche, even in the Crypto space.
At best, art should have its own tribe for that niche. Steemit's easiest go-to market is the Crypto space itself, which consumes content on industry's upcoming projects, TA, and regulation news.
Steemit isn't just about crypto though. That's a common misconception. And there is a tribe for art, but that doesn't mean that kind of content must be pushed aside by your advertisement. It's an advertisement by definition, regardless of content, the moment you purchased votes and used an exploit to push your content up to the trending page. Your post isn't on the trending page because it is popular. If you feel the market for your content is here, why not try honest curation? Why not try earning for your work, instead of pushing all other content aside so you can get visibility all while taking visibility away from those who earned the slot?
And my view is that you're largely wrong and plenty of data supports that. We can continue in DM since I'd like to continue this talk but I will likely stop looking at this article soon.
Do you have Telegram?
I must be a statistical anomaly then. Unfortunately, this entity doesn't really talk much outside of the platform.
@hatu, i will remove my downvote as
Also, pretty sure someone like you would deem that Cointelegraph's current headline pieces are just ads for NBA, Blockchain Dollar (project), Wilshire Phoenix (company), and Binance.
