Does Steemit want to be known as JUST a blogging site?
As I have mentioned in previous posts.. Steemit is not really like Reddit, because it has value to the entire world! Reddit is all about blogging and karma points which is the same as Steem Power, but that is about all that they have in common..
Steemit really can change the world!
Anyone at home with a computer and internet access can make money at any moment.. now yes there is a delay (24 hours now and 12 hours after the hardfork) but for the simple fact that you do not have to apply or be put on a schedule makes the possibilities endless!
Is blogging the content Steemit wants users to focus on creating?
I ask this because it does not seem like a whole lot of non-blogging or crypto posts are earning anything.. Does Steemit want to motivate people to post other content or JUST blogging posts?
"THE NEXT BIG THING"
If we are going to be "THE NEXT BIG THING" we have to realize that this IS a snapchat 10 second video world, and it's possible that the potentially millions/billions of users we want coming to the site.. Might want to see non-blog material being awarded also to motivate them to stay :/
I do agree with everything you say. Steemit can be so much more than what it currently is. I believe the biggest step in the right direction would be to make separate communities within steemit like reddit. Where if you have the best photo today you aren't the top posting in a video game board or a snapchat board. I believe it is important to create sub communities to allow people to feel included and not rejected by the majority when all they want to see is this or that. I would love an IT subsection, video game subsection, a theory subsection, a youtube subsection. This can create less "cancer posts" and instead give them a place to belong such as reblogging news, it shouldn't be considered original content, but at the same time it could be upvoted a ton if there was a news section that focused on grabbing sources. Thanks!
Really good call outs.. I have seen a few posts about alternate Steemit Music sites and Steemit Video sites as well so idk if all of them combined would be good.. or if they would do better if they were separate.
I would like to see one website like steemit.com that could encompass tons of groups. Like I could go to video games and clearly see the top video game posts and things like that. I just wish everything wasn't lumped together as steemit, even though there are tags, but it still gives the feel of one community. I believe there is a group for everyone and if you post in the wrong group you should be down voted. Like posting your opinion of women in a music section or posting music links in photography.
