RE: STEEM / DLive Is Filled With Normies
I'd say this is a widespread problem on Steemit in general. All the content is very safe and very general. Hardly anything grabs me.
I guess the money aspect causes it to a degree; people are scared of ruffling any feathers, so they just go with the safest option. The end result is the soul-crushingly boring "Hey, this is me and my boring life" type of blogging - something many of us came here to Steemit to escape from.
Not a lot of specific content that goes in-depth into anything, either. People are scared of doing anything niche because niche stuff likely won't make a lot of money here.
It's a shame.
Thanks for the mention!
There's nothing worse than people who upvote and interact exclusively due to expecting returns. Like this punk-ass "nice letter" guy, what are they trying to prove?
I try to make all my content as in depth as possible (Crypto videos especially) and it gets almost no attention or traction, and people will just post a picture of a graph and get like $100s. It's cringe. I'm mad!!! Grrrr
Same could be said about mainstream content on YouTube and stuff, too, though, it's not a central problem here, just exacerbated since the niche crowds haven't really arrived yet, so it's one dimensional.
Its not just about being edgy. Its about people who do good content.
I share Cyberdemons opinion as well. There are very few actual content creators on steemit as it stands right now. And the few times one does show up they dont get the red carpet treatment they deserve.
