RE: Steemit and "The Crab Mentality"
I can't agree with that, since I've literally only written posts about steemit probably four times since I began here three months ago. It really has more to do with getting to know people, engagement is truly key.
I know what you're saying, people that you know and that know you will support your writing no matter what it is (in theory), but that's not the point. It works at the level Steem is right now, since there's maybe about 3,000 users really active around. The true success is for you to be able to reach an audience that is directly interested in what you're saying (topic, idea, solution) or for you to get specific information that is in your interest.
Yes, you can build a following with people that have similar interests and check out the same topics but that is scarce right now and it drives a lot of people away due to not matching.
You may be right, though I would say constant posts about steemit's issues would be something that would not appeal to new users. When I first joined it happened to be at a time when people were posting a huge variety of different topics, which is what made this place exciting to me. And if the number of users did drastically increase so would the likelihood of there being more people interested in the topics you write about.
True, a negative attitude is not something that will get any of us anywhere. We can treat issues with responsibility and transparency in an effort to find solutions. Directly said: constant bitching about Steemit won't help :)
Ah, yep, haha! :) Thanks for the follow, followed you back ;)
