RE: I am the proud owner of a new niche at Narrative.org! (Brief overview/resources for Narrative.org)
Congrats on starting the niche there on narrative but as i'm sure you're aware, steemit has many blockchain competitors. I did read your pros and cons.
Long term, do you think steem will be worth more than it's competitors? In terms of what it is.... like how are all these other competitors really so much different than steemit?
To me it's akin to creating another facebook..... hows it really all that different?
Hope my question makes senses . As far as being a niche "owner"... sounds nice but there would end up being thousands (or more) "niches" for something like art, or gaming for example....
For sure. Tons of competition out there and no guarantees. A lot of other platforms are trying to improve/adapt Steemit’s model, and I think that’s a good thing.
Whereas Facebook is long established and mega popular, I don’t necessarily see Steemit that way. I love Steemit, and hope it grows and counties to be successful, but it’s always good to diversify, especially when sites like SCORUM (Steemit for sports, basically), Narrative, and BitTube are really pushing forward with unique ideas and high quality sites that are very user friendly.
Yes, there are many niches, but it’s like it is here, some are very popular, and some are not. All up to the attention market. The owner of a popular niche like “sports” might do great, where as the owner of, say, “Tachibana” might not. Who knows.
I dunno. Steemit has changed my life, but it’s definity not gonna be the last major blockchain-based social media site, in my view.
I’m loving that there is competition now. Hope it is a wake up to some of those a bit too comfortable with milking the system here...
I want to branch out as well and steemit is great but full of flaws. Just a few weeks ago i flagged some blatant spam of a -1 rep user. Little did i know they had 35000 SP so they went and flaggged all my recent posts to zero.
After some back and forth they removed all but one flag.
Steemit really doesn't have anything in place to stop corrupt behavior like this so I doubt steemit will be my only blockchain venture either.
Just don't know where to start.
And for people like me, I don't have one niche i blog about running, art, psychology, the unexplained, social issues etc. So a niche based site wouldn't work for me
I don’t have one niche either. Narrative has hundreds. Writers are not limited to one. I blog on SCORUM, too, just keeping a running blog there.
Sorry to hear about the power abuse that hit you. It is a real pain in the ass here, in that regard, for sure.
Thanks yeah the power abuse is an issue.
Thanks for clarifying about narrative
