RE: Why Is Steem Struggling?

in #steem5 years ago

Maybe we are looking at this from the inside and not the outside...

We are here and we've stayed because we understand ....but ask yourself..
How long did it take you to understand steem, SBD and steem power? People who have been here a long time still don't fully get it. How many keys do you have? owner key, active key, posting key, memo key. Even general crypto currencies are complicated for the average Joe to understand.

Its too complicated and people are lazy..

Is it easier to open a facebook account and log in every where with that account. And if you lose your password you just request a reset.
or
Is it easier to buy/open a steem account learn about steem ,SBD and SP. Then secure your 4 keys and understand what each one does? And if you lose your keys you lose your account and everything in it or you have a major job to get it back.
People want simple non thinking interaction.

Then comes quality posts.. All i hear is quality posts, quality posts, quality posts. You want people to come from facebook instagram and twitter. Places where 90% of posts are nonsense posts. Picture of a cat with a hat or a dog in a bow tie. You really think those people will come here to be bashed with quality posts, quality posts, quality posts.

Solution is...
make it simple.. Simple is as simple does
Make it fun.. Stop the bashing of shitty post if you want people who make shitty posts. If you want all quality posts. Then don't expect people from FB and Instergram to come. If you want all quality posts and a niche following then be my guest but you'll never have exponential growth

Signing in to everything should be simple but secure.. steemconnect and keychain is a positive move.

Lastly think about it this way..
Did FB say to its users "Come and join FB so we can abuse your data and make billions from you" Nope they said come here and have fun, play games and share things with your family and friends
We need to get people to come here by saying "Come and have fun, play games and share things with family and friends" and even get paid to do it.
Keep the blockchain and the crypto in the background and make it simple and easy... "and they WILL come"

Sort:  

I agree. Brand new users with very little Steem don't need to worry about security. They will learn to protect it as they have more.
