Will Steemit subverts Twitter,Quora and even Facebook?
Simply say, Steem is a writing publishing platform, with social properties, like the current Facebook and the like site. But it uses a decentralized block-chain technology, which is similar to Bitcoin distributed platform, all content is not stored in a centralized server. But this is not the point, it makes me feel the new place is that in the above article can make money. Users are welcome to comment on good content, are likely to get income, but it is not through advertising revenue, at least not now.
How much can it earn? Steemit early users of more than 10 test articles have received 900USD income, this figure for the online writing, then considered quite high. Where does this platform come from? The current should be through the virtual currency itself, the higher the market value of the virtual currency to provide (registered to send 4USD), the future is estimated that the same, remember Bitcoin year worthless, but now nearly a 3000USD.
With the economic incentives, it can be said to stimulate the original excellent content, the formation of a good ecological system. Compared with Twitter and Facebook, in the Steemit published content above income, and Wechat, QQ comparison comparison, Steemit reward money is not from the user's own. And personal blog site advertising revenue comparison, Steemit above no advertising - but does not rule out the future Steemit will introduce advertising. Steemit is still in the early version, the interface is simple, support Markdown syntax, text reading effect is good, published in the above content was Google included very fast and ranked very forward.
But there is one thing that I am not satisfied with, content published more than 24 hours can not be modified. Some people say yes, can not modify this is evidence. For me, writing can not be perfect once, need to constantly modify. I'm just a preliminary trial to take a look at Steemit, so the above understanding may be very incomplete and even error - although I am a relatively early Bitcoin enthusiast.
Overall, Steemit is a useful attempt to combine social media and virtual currency blocks together to motivate excellent content creation - Bitcoin will soon recommend a similar platform for Yours. As for the future will be like Facebook as a social platform as big and red? I am cautiously optimistic. In order to prevent the proliferation of robots, Steemit registered Facebook validation. You can go to experience it, but if you intend to rely on it to get rich, I suggest you better or do not think so!
