RE: Selling delegation, becoming voting bots, in the middle of whale wars. Where did all the human curators go?
when i joined steem i had the notion that my content will be upvoted and i worked hard to make sure i write great content but alas i was wrong, most content that trend or are on the hot tab are all sponsored or voted by bots, what happened to the original idea as speculated on the white paper? steem is begining to look like a bot centred platform than human centered, humans working for bots and this is not good
That is the nature of social media. When you upload something to the older social media without any form of marketing, without engaging the audience, it is unlikely that people will notice your work too.
You need to take into account that information and media is getting increasingly saturated nowadays and will only be more so in the future. Everyone of us is adding our noise to the crowd.
It is not enough now to just stop by and plonk your stuff and leave it be. You need to build your audience, join a community, build your brand.
"feed me" mentality will not work in an environment where attention is scarce. It's why we call it the Attention Economy.
P.S. Bot abuse asides, this platform is still undoubtedly the best for content creators, even if you made 1 cent on here. It's 1 cent that you'll never make in any other place by the virtue of your content alone.
