This place didn't just revive blogging. Some of us are reinventing it.
Any time I see a medium article, it's just the same old junk. Words said 1000 different ways that all come to the same conclusion. Just writing words in an attempt to get that spot near the top of a search engine. All of these so called "rules" are followed because they searched "how to be successful blogger" and followed the "Top 7 ways to be a writer" shit post that's been on the internet for nine years and has three shares on Facebook.
The crypto crowd is tiny and the arts and entertainment crowd is massive. If people only knew this place doesn't have to be treated like every other bland forum on the internet and they can be as creative as they want here... dammit I lost my chain of thought.
Oh yeah! I remember now. If you want invest in something, the arts and entertainment world generates billions upon billions of views and dollars every year. This place is a full multi media experience. Anything that could be entertaining to anyone including a dumb essay about rocks all the way up to an awesome vlog/blog combo with music and art while someone else is over there writing a book. Nobody can tell me the arts and entertainment world doesn't have investors and expect me to listen to them because that's bullshit crap. It just seems like the crypto crowd likes to invest in a thing and hope the thing goes up in value but here we have an entire industry and goddamit I hope people realize this potential someday.
Oh and before someone shits on me, just know I mean no disrespect to the crypto crowd. That's all included in what I said. Arts and entertainment includes videos and write-ups about everything. I use the term loosely AND with that I'm done rambling.
If there's a typo, I don't care, I'm half drunk.
Haha I feel the same way about Medium, the only times I use it is to read something interesting a crypto project/CEO has said. Edit: I think over time the decent blockchains out there will see the value in writing and engaging on an immutable blockchain considering all the vote manipulation, black markets and shadowbanning that are happening over on Reddit.
Also can you imagine someone clapping after reading an article? Just no.
I don't know if they're clapping but I do know some people have shot beverage out of their nose over some of the things I've said.
Haha, the "clap" feature that rewards authors somehow.
lol.
Make clap great again
PS- even crypto people have other interests, like me!
the only problem here is that it's not exactly easy to figure out what's going on here. The regular person won't stick around to figure it out yet. I hope it comes.
I'm a regular person, I think. I certainly don't feel irregular. ;)
So am I. BUT I also have patience and curiosity. I was willing to read and learn and see what was possible. The 4 people I told to check this out all abandoned months ago. I've only been online since it came online. I'm not afraid to ask either. Most arent.
But what would your friends and family say? ;) lol
I'm making a big effort to understand what is talked about here (the main article + comments).
Acidyo recollection of an interesting read :
[to read something interesting a crypto project/CEO has said. Edit: I think over time the decent blockchains out there will see the value in writing and engaging on an immutable blockchain considering all the vote manipulation, black markets and shadowbanning that are happening over on Reddit.]
made me read it 2, 3 times and even then I couldn't make heads or tails of it. NOTE - to make this worse , a CEO had said this , which made me loose hope of ever understanding.
On the other side of things - aside of making steemit a new hub for blogs , you've introduced a secret language code and to decode it you need coins ?
I loved Medium until so deemed 'top-stories' got all the attention which created a gap between other stories. I just remembered I once made a comment about a story which got about 3000 reads and 1 or 2 replies and no answers...
Well, uhm I'm moving on , bye for now crypto-people , may it rain blockchains for you !
I think some would, but most of the people have to feel somewhat certain to invest their time nowadays, which is nothing still that relates about crypto to the mainstream
Just to but in here, I agree, we are reinventing blogging, thank god. I was so sad when blogging slowly slid away and we were replaced with FB thumbs up and just memes. I love bloggin, I know it's so 2000 and late, but I don't care. I love it :)
The car replaced the horse and that improved life. Whatever Facebook replaced didn't seem to improve anything. That thing has made people miserable for nearly a decade. It's like a drug they can't stop putting into their body even though it doesn't make a high anymore. An entire generation, zoned out. Just because everyone else is doing something, that doesn't make it a good thing.
It's almost as if it was 'planned' that way ;)
The amount of knowledge gleaned about the human animal and it's mind's conditions since the World wars has been put to good use in much of our modern 'aides', crazy old world.
Tosses away the principles of "Top 7 ways to be a writer"...adopting the "I don't care, I'm half drunk" principle from now on.
Amen!
Never get full drunk and type though. That's how you crash. You'll wake up the next morning with an immutable hangover and you'll have to live with that for the rest of your days.
