RE: The Steem community problem Netcoins uncovered
Very well stated, @tarazkp...
I'd have to say, though, that it isn't just the "man in the trenches" who is at fault here.
After pouring my heart out to try and motivate the community and its leaders, I'm more than a little disappointed that the Steemit, Inc. 'powers that be' haven't used their unique and exclusive ability to make everyone who logs in to Steemit aware this contest.
As you say, it remains to be seen whether or not a Netcoins listing will do all the wonderful things we hope it will. However, we will never know unless we try. And, at a presumptive cost of $30K to buy a Netcoin listing, what are the odds that Steemit, Inc. will ever try Netcoins if they won't even put up a small banner notice--as was done repeatedly during the HF20 fiasco--to help win the very same privilege for free?
😄😇😄
The banner notice is something I have wanted to write about as I think it is a decent tool that should be utilised for various activities. I am pretty sure that if they used it to promote Steem though they would come under fire from other sectors. Silly isn't it, we all want much of the same thing but play the narcissism of small differences card time and time again.
Hey, if we don't stretch our necks out a little bit, they won't be cut off... but we won't gain much either.
Steemit, Inc. promoting Steem? How much criticism could that possibly draw, and why should they really care? Yes, silly indeed! It's past time for some bold action!
Thanks for your response!
We need to bloody win! Netcoins just got approved for 42 US states as of today:
