RE: Deep Dives 8 | Human Trafficking Winners Announced (41 SBD!)
Congrats @krnel and @angryman!
Thanks for the feedback @deepdives. It's greatly appreciated!
The cobalt mining industry is FAR bigger then I initially expected, I knew it was far bigger then cellphone market, but the scale of the car industry is just mind blowing.
The use of cobalt in cellphones is nothing compared to the demand of the car industry.
Thank you @bifilarcoil and congratulations to you as well. I am happy to have been a part of this interesting challenge/prompt.
yes, these deepdives are really worth doing. I would recommend anyone to give it a try. Even if just to get some appreciation for journalism. Every dive I made so far presented me with new and surprising challenges. It's a great workout for the brain.
Yes...can lead to 'brain drain' depending how lengthy one chooses to go. I imagine there are many who would like to try, but feel like they may lack the writing skills. It can also be time consuming which some people may not afford.
Hope your day is a happy one.
hehe indeed
I try to do 10 mental push-ups each day to keep the grey blob fit.
yes many may think that they don't have the writing skills.
Actually when I had a first look at it I thought the same. But I just tried anyway and see how I would fail. And I'm still trying . :-) So i'm convinced that everyone can do this. But it is a matter of courage to just go for it and see how far you get.
And everyone gives great feedback, and that's what actually makes me want to try again and again. Learn more... And my articles are still very unpolished so i'm sure someone will be able to write better then me.
And yes it consumes time, but it also rewards. All those people making shitposts that dont go anywhere is not rewarding at all, and i must say some people manage to create beautiful shitposts. Would be interesting to see those people write about real shit. That could turn journalism on it's head.
As the platform grows, hopefully we'll see more people contributing in a positive manner. Right now, I am fortunate enough to be finding a satisfying number of dedicated creators to keep things interesting.
Yes, once this starts to expand it will be interesting in many new ways
