RE: My Rant At How Hard It Is To Convince My Talented Friends to GET ON STEEMIT!
Part of the problem for me is that people look at it and see an echo chamber. A lot of people into Steem and Steemit, talking about how great Steem and Steemit is. It adds to the sense that we're a community of people just trying to push the price up on something. I think it'll get better and easier when the community upvotes and supports more divergent interests on a range of topics as often as they do posts on Steem's price or Steemit's popularity.
Well, that's one of the reasons I am trying to get my friends who are professional writers/artists/musicians/filmmakers, etc., on here - that and it'll be good for them. None of them know the first thing about crypto. That said, a high SBD price is a massive incitement for people who expect to get paid in exchange for valuable content. I know a few people dropped off over summer because SBD was too low and they were making content they had put in a lot of effort into only to get $0.50 which at that time was only like 30 pence.
You are right, we need those people. They also need support by the people who are here. Upvoting content and the like. It can be extremely frustrating when you get little for your effort. It takes a special kind of person to be both hyped about Steemit and patient at the same time.
Happened to me.
