RE: Ways to support Curie - Hardfork 18 Edition
Steemit is not designed to be a platform for long term revenue generation. Here, content cycles every day or two and payouts are now every 7 days. That said, maybe there'll be a solution for long term content in the future - who knows? For now, you can get advertising deals yourself - there's nothing stopping you from adding ads to your own post.
Very true, it just seems like the short term focus is limiting to bloggers and content contributors who are in it for the long haul and longer term revenue generation. Do you feel like that limits the effectiveness of the platform to a broad audience of good content generators? It also seems like hosting a blog here can be an ineffective strategy since after a month since there is no incentive to share good content. Do you feel like that negates the viral nature of social media in respect to this platform?
I don't think it limits reaching a broad audience. It's pretty clear that long form, long term blogging is a niche activity today, while much of the internet has moved to micro-blogging, sharing etc. I'm not sure what you mean about not hosting a blog after a month. You can keep creating... Some of the earliest bloggers have been around for nearly a year now.
Just trying to get a better understanding of the platform and how other users felt about social media strategy here. We really appreciate your insight and thoughts on the platform.
