RE: How To Get People Interested in STEEM?
I was of the same opinion. If we talk about the authors, then you may be right. But if we talk about the success of the project as a whole, the situation is a bit different here.
I would be very naive to expect investors to invest in STEEM just because they saw an Instagram post. But if we talk about social networks, then they are attractive only when they are popular. If we talk about cryptocurrencies, then they are also attractive only when they are popular and have a large community behind them. It turns out that we doubly need to popularize STEEM/Steemit.
Popularity also has negative consequences. They cannot be avoided. Here will come those who want to earn without making any effort, here will come scammers and plagiarists, here will come beggars. But among them, I hope, there will be new wonderful authors.
It seems to me that if we do not popularize STEEM, then over time due to the natural outflow of authors, only a handful of users will remain here. The platform will become less social, less interesting and unnecessary.
I see your point. However, I can't get my head around the idea that something should be unnecessary if it is not used by the whole world... I really think it would be more interesting and worthwhile if a platform for enthusiastic authors and networkers were to be established. Apart from that, I would also like to see a stomping ground for investors. But... Separate.
Ich sehe Deinen Standpunkt. Allerdings will mir nicht in den Kopf, daß etwas unnötig sein soll, wenn es nicht von aller Welt genutzt wird... Ich fände es wirklich interessanter und lohnenswerter, wenn sich eine Plattform für begeisterte Autoren und Netzwerker etabliert. Abseits davon gerne zusätzlich ein Tummelplatz für Investoren. Aber... Getrennt.
When I wrote the word "unnecessary", I meant that authors leave Steemit for various personal reasons. This is a natural process. It may happen that no one will read our posts. Then who wants to write?
I completely understand your point. Quantity always reduces quality. I myself doubt whether I am on the right path.
I don't want to make it more difficult to you! But... Nowadays, it seems to be fashionable to declare exactly one way as good and right and then not allow any further reflection. I notice a touch of that here on the Steem as well....
