RE: In The Kitchen -Morrocan Lamb Stew
Great post, and instructions.
The amount minnows earn on posts, is nothing.
You are doing VERY well to get $2.
I am hopeful this is being looked at.
So many new users get turned off by the disconnect between whales & minnows.
The Steem platform are the losers in the end, they just have not realised it yet!
I have been contributing for more than a year... original content.... 2 dollars shared with curators does not make it worth my while... My time is more important than that. So let the minnows also pay their dues ....
I agree & have been saying so
My view is for each "author" there needs to be 10 or 100 "viewers"
ie the number of viewers needs to grow for the platform to work
otherwise it is just a top heavy $$ pyramid the same as MSM.
The value of votes should be 10-20% to author & 80-90% shared between viewers.
Authors earn via volume or viewers.
Viewers earn by reviewing/commenting / participating
ie the flipped version of MSM
The only way I can see this happening or starting to happen is to stop whales voting wales so whales can earn for basically (in many cases) Sh!t posts of zero value, all due to bot voting.
So much minnow content is a great read. But with zero rewards & such slow growth they don't post very often after the first few.
this means we end up with single pic posts or YT links with zero value added. ie more cr@p clogging the chain. All the while the whales keep promoting the concept of "post great blogs & earn" .....
blogs are so 1990's anyhow. Who will really care in 2,5,10 years what someone ate for breakfast anyhow?
Despite a GREAT basic concept, that could really be HUGE, Steem does not seem to have current 'direction' that is sustainable IMHO.
Time will tell.
You make some good points. I personally do not believe that Steemit can scale to millions of users. It is evident that the comments and replies are not kept in the same place as the blog account.... the feed for those always takes a while to catch up.
Also yes, the ability to retain quality content posters is low in the current format.
