RE: Steemit Basics: Are You a Good Curator of Your OWN Content?
Community... yes! As an "early adopter" you might get this... I always thought the whole "Come for the rewards, stay for the community" slogan was a bit cheeseball, but I've come to appreciate the sheer genius of it... the rewards system subtly "trains" us to become mindful and connected; this strange blend of self-interest mixed with the fact that our upvotes are actually way of actively helping each other succeed.
Of course, your visit reminds me that it has been too long since I last checked out your daily life in Japan series, which I really enjoy!
Yes, that slogan is very fitting for this platform, but it doesn't have a special ring to it. I feel like it hits the mark, but sort of falls short.
The rewards system is a strange motivator. A friend of mine has been saying that all along, that it really promotes good comments and conversations. Really, having everything out in the open and your reputation on the line is interesting. It creates a lot of accountability, which I think is something that is missing from many areas of society.
I'm glad you like my series. It's always there waiting for you to catch up on it and growing in the mean time. I'm curious to hear if you have any advice about how to grow my audience. It seems that my followers are constantly growing, but my views and comments have pretty much stayed the same over time. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
