RE: Promoting Steem
Large stakeholders are definitely more respected here as are developers and investors. There are also a few terrific content creators who get just as much respect. You should look into more communities for engagement, fringe tags are better to find friends in as opposed to basic ones like #steem or #life. You could also join discords, it often works as a more social extension to many communities. Time is also important, you don't make friends in just a few months. Keep at it!
Discord I would say is essential. I’ve seen success for niche content creators that specifically create for a dedicated tag such as homesteading.
The friends I’ve made here are like me, not to be pigeon holed and not to be taken seriously at all times.
I appreciate your zeal and advice. For me someone that came here for entertainment first, edification second, and a willingness to be a control in an experiment third I’m only expressing that I’m not like any other steemians currently active.
If the economics are fixed and can support more typical social media users such as myself in the future my account will see a different kind of reward and attention than the usual cheerleading for steem stuff, no offense.
I can’t think of a single friend or family member that has the time or energy to devote to this platform. Out of a thousand fb followers perhaps 2 would last here, that’s an issue that internal pep talks won’t soon alleviate.
I would also add respect is earned not bought, but that’s not true here. I however don’t respect anyone just because they’re a big fish in a little pond.
You're so right with that last point. It does take a lot of effort here for the average person. Partiko makes it easier. Let's hope some front end evolves to be more like Facebook where simple posts are welcomed and the complexity of Steem is buried.
Absolutely, it will come or we are all just going to be forever passing around a coin to each other in a stake weighted ecosystem that doesn’t reward “good behavior”
