RE: New Content Platform: ex-Netflix & -Amazon Video Team turns to Decentralization
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.
