RE: Facebook Invests Millions in Community Leaders - What Steemit Inc Should Learn From This
I am by no means a fan of Facebook, but I agree that Steemit is not working as advertised. I put a lot of thought and effort into creating thoughtful content yet my payouts are very small. And yet I see some people post meme after meme and earning hundreds. If things don't change I am not sure how much of a future Steemit will have.
the answer to that is investment,
Steemit is investment in time and treasure, did you invest?
What do you mean by "treasure"? I invest a lot of time in Steem, which is evidenced by my long, well thought out blog posts. I don't see the same investment of time spent by people just posting memes. So I am still not sure how those earn more, as they are not better quality.
steemit is not about only blogging, it is also a facebook like, a tweeter like, a 9gag that promote memes, a you tube like, a github like etc.
you can't compare your own post that rely only to other steemians who have high stake.
Treasure? people used their own pocket to buy steem and power up to support their own content to have a voice.
Always remember that curator's are investors and giving their upvotes to somebody they like. No one can dictate them or force them to upvote your post.
better stop complaining rather than keep on finding the better way. The best way? buy more steem and power up! this will speed up your growth
nonsense. usually arrogant tripe. Steemit sells its rewards as an inducement to gain members. Many members from less wealthy backgrounds join to improve themselves and work hard, This member invests time, who the fuck are you to tell them to spend money buying more steem...many people are because they dont have money, certainly not to gamble on crypto. So @albertvhon , try haing some empathy and wind your neck in.
it is you @nathen007 is arrogant, can you hear want you are saying?
I am not telling her to spend money, what I told that this steemians gains so much rwards because they invest with money! she is complaining why she earn less, didn't you just read and jump into conclusion, then she replied that it does not worth his money, meaning she has the money but steemit is not worth to invest for.
you are rude enough, if people are work harder in steemit, then why complain earning less?
I am telling her the truth, what empathy you want from a complaining one than telling the truth.
You must know who rewards your post? is it the steemit? or the co-users like you who invest in time and money.
Compare her posts to your posts, tell where the value to the community is ! She provides great content, works hard and gets almost no reward. People like you post crap get loads of reward. Whats so difficult to understand ?
Steemit, and all the older members constantly tell new members to post great content and be rewarded....you post 'how to be a great member posts' , but it doesnt work. The system is broken. As for dmania, total dumbing down of the ecosystem. and now big you tubers are arriving gaining 1550USD for one crap video...where is their investment, following your logic ?
People dont buy SP just to be benevolent, they buy it to make money. Like you. Thankfully people like this OP provide brilliant content to help the community, her talent is paying you.
Sound like BIG Youtubers having friends with nice SP and it very beneficial.
Thats the real problem here, you keep comparing and complaining!
Your good content is bad for others, your bad content is good for others, How do you know what is good or bad?
Why not start working what's a better way to success,
Again, who gives the REWARDS?
Like What I said, Steemit is not about blogging only,
are you upset?
I am not telling anybody to buy sp, yet I am telling that they buy sp and upvote themselves to gain visibility.
Successful people don't complain, they work hard, by jack ma
I would never buy more SP, that really would not be worth my money. And Steemit does work the way you explain, but that is not how it is promoted to work. That is the issue. Steemit is pegged as this amazing blogging platform where you earn money for quality content (like I do with my own website). The reality is how you describe it: a glorified facebook where friends upvote friends. I don't like facebook and twitter already works well for me, so I joined Steemit looking for a different experience.
I agree on parts of your points and as I pointed out in my latest blog post, Steemit itself has possible tools to balance those kinds of things.
Nevertheless, you have to see Steemit differently.
I'd more advertise it like this:
Since, on the short term stupid memes might bit you out, but after you build a certain followership you will grow with them.
I would like to point out 2 things here.
a) It is definitely worth investing in SP, since it gives you back through curation (which is probably more than what you get at your bank at the moment) and you are able to grow with the price of steem, which might get you some extra $.
b) It is like opening your own blog, at the beginning, even if you post a lot of good content, it might not get you rewarded, but as you grow and continue to post good and interesting content you will.
And the chance of this happening in Steem is 1000 higher than in a regular blog.
see, you are selfish
you want yourself to be given and not giving back. Better read @raycoms reply
how do you know she can afford it ? Arrogant muppet
I totally agree with you, Last night I couldn't sleep, was doing a lot of researches to come up with a brilliant post that doesn't get flagged, and the end of the day my payouts are really small, it's discouraging. @ned and the Steem Inc should really work on that.
