What to Buy, What to Buy... :YobbyTHINK:
One one platform, the community is engaging and rewards good content.
One one platform, the community sees your house on fire, and won't even spit in its general direction unless there's an ROI to be made. Content creators in general are losers because Proof of Brain and it's made more then clear that you are not welcome on the site.
One platform rewards dumpers who place sell pressure on the token. The other platform rewards loyalty.
One of the platforms also doesn't allocate all of its tokens to amateurish apps, each equally useless as the other, doing nothing more than what the flagship site has already been able to do from the beginning.
HARD CHOICES, I'm telling you!
Oh! Oh! One of the platforms also has a fully functional notifications system! It's true! Guess which one.
Ouch, but also quite true... We make no effort to reward the good actors and we ignore the negative actions of those who call themselves investors but act like huge parasites.
Scorum has a beautiful website but they also are only attractive to a niche and a niche within the crypto niche at that. However, I've been watching them and they are doing a lot of things really well! I think they will do well.
I do think some of our apps have a better chance of rewarding content creators. Only time will tell.
:)
Yes. Appealing to a niche can be a blessing or a curse. I feel one of the issues on Steemit is that it tries to appeal to everyone. People have trouble finding content they enjoy, and equal difficulties finding an audience for their content.
Appealing to a niche may make things more concise.
Though it's also possible that it's a problem. To be fair.
But sports does have a massive mainstream following. How much of that group of people is also into crypto? That remains to be seen.
Besides, sports is one thing, but blogging about sport events is another. How many watchers of sport post about it?
You make a good and valid point, as always. They do have a beautiful and well-laid out web site, and what seems like a nice community. Wish I had even a remote interest in sports, but sadly I don't... wish someone would create something similar for philosophy/psychology and such... but I have my doubts, since "thinking" has no commercial value.
But nonetheless, point well taken!
I hear you. I would love a similar platform that is focued on one or two topics, but those topics would be, say, philosophy and psychology.
I think that even purely as a consumer, I'd enjoy a site like that.
I wouldn't want to be limited in my topic choices though philosophy or psychology would be my top choices probably
But at the same time. On Steemit, no one supports or upvotes my content. On Scorum, I get support. I'll rather post about a specific topic and get support than be free to post about what I want for two dollars.
No one? You're a rep 70 i'm sure you've had to have some success on here. Just saying =)
I started in 2016. Things have changed a lot since then.
This was a different place, for sure.
I started june of '17 and i feel alot has changed so i'm sure you def do
oh, shit, i may have voted at the wrong time because STINC changed it and I had barely figured out the first time around. uh, sorry?
I have no idea how it works anymore. To be honest, I also don't care.
I am not on scorum, yet! But I guess I fall into the sports and crypto niche, so w’ll check it out...
I do believe some applications on the Steem blockchain are good... like steemhunt for instance, but that is also niche...
Never heard of it, but I've never heard of most of those things.
Too bad, you should check it out, it is a very well built app and a good community that rewards each other’s good contributions...
Really
Steem is a shit coin!! really...
I want an ROI, too.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with wanting ROI. Well, except for you since you're openly a socialist, and ROI is capitalistic. :)
But maybe a better way of putting it is that there's short-term and long-term ROI. Sometimes it pays in the future to be altruistic and nice today. But Steemit is all about short-term ROI - and that short-term ROI often leads to dumping anyway.
And that short-term ROI chasing can create an environment that is off-putting for people who ultimately take their business elsewhere.
Reminder that capitalism breeds corruption and greed for profit and this is why ;p
