Recently I have been a bit bothered by the same ideas, but with the hardfork changes, price differences and wanting both our large and small minnows to stay, I decided to let it all play out.
Like you, I am not a great writer, nor do I focus on content. As a part of that I don't expect to have an amazing income stream from my blog.
I randomly type my thoughts and add pictures. :)
Anyway, I wanted you to know I read your post, and have mixed feeling about the message, I can relate...
Enjoy that new account and the minnow benefits! Your posts have been a part of my SteemIt experience.
I wish the community would focus more on engagement than quality, but that is just me. Take care.
Hurts... I wish someone told me that years ago before I got into writing :D
I'm sure it will play out into an amicable outcome. I just wanted to add to the discussion to aid in coaslescing of ideas. I won't be using my business minnow account much until I get the business ball moving.
I don't agree with everything I wrote. It was somewhat of a vent based around the title.
I was present when one of my minnow friends received a fat reward, getting his first Steemit/Crypto high (I remember mine fondly :D ); it was when he got that high that I knew Steemit had hooked another minnow. I think focusing on newbies is good, and that the sheer number of people joining and now using the platform is probably the cause for less views in conjunction with human psychology and how we value things based on price tags.
I find it difficult to put my finger on the identity of this evolving platform. Like with engagement over quality; that pushes it towards social media, but with quality over engagement it becomes more like a media site without the social aspect.
Thanks for commenting! I hope you are having a wonderful summer and or winter ^_^
lol, I wasn't saying you aren't a great writer, I was repeating what you said. I meant I hadn't "branded" my blog. :)
I understood the rant, I also understand we don't yet have community tools, etc. I am hoping my Grandma was right and it will all come out in the wash.
Take care.
