RE: Getting Ready For Steem 1.0...And The End Of Beta
YouTube, Facebook and Instagram already feels like Stone Age. Why would you do any action outside the Blockchain? The best part here is how the whole core system people are using will be undermined. People will start to expect more from a platform.
I also don't think people on current platforms will migrate anytime soon, this is too geeky and complicated for now. So mainly the geeky males that will benefit. The best way to explain other platforms right now is noise. And all other platforms work via a clickbait scheme in how you try to trick someone to enter your little world. While we try to build up a system that relies more on trust and relationships.
For example I would love to see different reputation systems to make it more fun and engaging. A charity reputation score for example. To see more if a user has been really unselfish. But clearly they are working on stuff to try to also make it worth more to engage in the community and comment section. Since it's currently a bit undervalued.
There is also this low level communism many have because of school brainwashing. If you search for capitalism only evil photos show up on Shutterstock. Which is misleading. Surely you have many hipsters also in here that not really see the point in creating something engaging in form of content. Or the people that tries to make all into a conspiracy.
I have stated it in the past that the pointlessness of money Era is coming. Since we will have trillionaires walking around on Earth. 1 of them will be able to solve literally any issue on Earth. Since business is running best when there are no problems and just give humans what they want. This is with my core belief that 99% of Man is good and has no weird agendas.
We geeks are now mainly just looking for entertainment and fun. I think @ned stated that "interesting" > "quality", in a Steemit comment. We can call it The Game of Blockchains. We sort of need lots of new novelty. Because we are extremely good at fast pattern recognition and filter out the same old boring predictable.
As you said the smartest for content creators is to build up their personal brand. Since that is the most powerful thing you can do. And video will be insanely huge in the future. I have uploaded over 9000 videos on YouTube with over 600M total views. That means an average of 50,000 humans clicked each video. Let's say some double so only 30,000. That is still insanely high. The demand for new stuff is massive.
