Facebook pays for content these days?

I rather not compare sites like Steemit with FB or some social media. They have not much in common. Steemit has no chat function nor the easy I add you so now we arw friends attitude. It's also different from the more gossip or promote yourself and your interest attitudes. It wouldn't be bad if we would do that here (promoting us) or are more free. It's quiet structured with all those contests telling you what to write and which answers should be answered.

If FB or other platforms are huge with you I am the last one stopping promoting there although it's the opposite of Steemit or what Steemit used to be and stood for: anonimity, freedom, no big brother control, creativity.

I agree with you that videos made, if they are good, can be a source of income. YouTube pays if enough followers.
Can Steemit beat YouTube, TikTok or Rumble if it comes to payment, followers and to many more important: views and fame? I don't think that will ever happen. There's no way to be found. Steemit is invisible for the average man searching the internet plus there's no easy way to add your video.
Next to that Steemit goes for long texts which isn't entertaining, not even 1% reads every word written it simply takes the spirit and fun away if you are here to relax for one hour.

I agree a motivation is needed and fun, engagement is the key, interaction with others but the reality is the opposite. It's the money they come for since this is the highest need and therefore all they hear and read is: You definetely get well paid por posting a few letters, a copy-paste story or news item. This is the main problem why many come and leave but also do not improve if it comes to developing their writing styles and posts. There's a huge lack of creativity and all using the same template won't make a text better.

What I would never write on a flyer is a phonenumber. Don't. Give info by e-mail, a different one from the one you use.
Now I think about it, have you ever thought about making a site? You could make the basics and for specific info link to articles on Steemit. I can imagine that can be attractive and helpful.

I wish you good luck. 👍🍀❤️
