RE: Part III: Steemit Economy. Current Trends
Both the same person
Now it is clear why they act in the same way.
I remember I couldn't understand why these photos are so special and why they vote for them so much :) This dude is smart, he doesn't care about anyone's opinion, doesn't make an effort and makes good money. There are a lot of such dudes here.
It would be much better if I joined the newcomer community. I wanted but didn't want to post my photo in achievement 1 :)
I didn't like posting my photo either but I did to start with... and then I deleted it in the hope that nobody would be bothered enough to go and find it again. If I was signing up today, I almost certainly wouldn't add one.
On a completely different topic, have you spent any time recently browsing around Steemit to see what other activity's going on on the platform? I'd not really looked until recently and it appears as though Steemit's just lots of little Steemit's with very little cross-community interaction.
You may have noticed that I am part of one of the teams that will access the steemcurator account. The day when I will be curating the content is Saturday. I didn't know if I would get the keys this Saturday, but I was looking for good posts just in case. So I walked around a lot in different communities.
In my opinion, each community is a separate Steemit with its own rules and customs. And you're right, there is almost no communication between communities.
You once told me that you are comfortable in WOX. I only wrote in WOX and Steem-Travelers all the time, but much more in WOX. Now that I've looked at other communities, I've realized that there are very few that support quality.
I think the reason that very few communities support quality is because (as harsh as this sounds), there's very little quality. denmarkguy is perfectly accurate in his comment to your post on the subject.
I noticed whilst I was looking around that a lot of the communities have simply disappeared, even some which I thought would succeed. Those which are still going tend to have at least 1 very powerful user who seems to attract the authors. It feels a bit like Steemit's a very strange environment at the moment.
The person who built the scheme by which he successfully earns money is not interested in disclosing this information. Therefore, he does not communicate with other members of the community. He doesn't need it. He is all right, the money is coming steadily.
There are no rules that would force him to write well, to interest the reader, to communicate with other members of the community. He hacked the system :)
So the system needs to be improved. If the system does not evolve, there will be more and more such hackers.
