A Problem I noticed.. is the lack of cross promoting Steemians
Since I've found Steemit in July, I've wondered why there was no dedicated youtube channel promoting it's own video content creators by including their videos in a Official Steemit Channel or promoting the content creators own youtube channel.
It seems that much of the music community is running into folks who love to curate videos from YouTube...from hit artists not on Steemit, and not accompanied with fun facts or anything like that. I'd really like to see less of that.
We just started a group specifically for Steemit Musicians, and expect to see a lot more cross-promoting in our community if you are interested in that sort of thing. I think we are about to band together in a big way (at least in the musical community)...and I think this kind of thing is almost imperative.
Edit: I speak so much about the music community, as it is the one in which I am most embedded. :)
These posts tend to often get a lot of views....... and some comments so I can vouch here for Jessamyn -- if anyone has not followed her or her engagement within the music community specifically, she is definitely one to follow and interact with on that topic.
Thank you for your stamp of approval, my friend. Glad we met here. :)
Yes, you are fun!
There are so many new people here, some people seem to focus on the very visible rep. score that is seen in every comment or post, attached beside our name and make assumptions so I figure since I am in the 70's for awhile now, use that for good LOL
I think that as musicians migrate to Steemit that will happen naturally. The fanbase of the artists will likely prefer authentic content connected to the artists they like. People who enjoy content of that type, and who also are aware of the income potential of Steemit posts, will be likely to spurn content that is not authorized or helpful to the artists.
Perhaps a 'verification' badge for artist supportive content might be helpful to the community in selecting which content to support, and which to avoid as parasitic, rather than symbiotic, or mutualistic (sorry about the biology based labels, but the relationships between organisms seems apt analogy in this context).
I have worked as a musician, and have children currently who do, so I am aware of how the industry has changed markedly and the impacts on artists these changes have brought. Steemit may well be a venue for marketing their work that can dramatically improve that industry.
In the immense focus of remuneration on 'stars' the great number of less popular but no less skilled artists have been poorly motivated financially (to say the least). Steemit potentiates means, such as paying for original works, or simply upvoting posts by artists, that can improve the financial situation for artists.
That is a good point. It is not like several video platforms are being worked on and or tried out to get AWAY from the fascism of YT/Google......
But until that happens, that would be a simple thing to do and get going.
