WHAT I AM MISSING ON STEEMIT NAVIGATION MENU - RANDOM
I think Steemit is programmed to think that new posts are just better, but it is not always true. Old posts can bring valuable information/fun too.
I think we are really missing some good content here, how? Because the posts were not pushed up to top in the first 10 minutes of post life. The life span of post is really low with the amount of posts that go to Steemit every day.
We have menus for:
- New posts
- Hot posts
- Treding posts
- Promoted posts
But if your post is hidden gold, nobody will find it if you postit in time when there are no voters around or you did not put it in the **promoted tab. **
If you did post in the time when there are many voters around then you will probably be found in hot or trending post tab.
Give me example why we need random menu.
You are a smaller author. You write good content, but nobody knows that yet. If you dont get enough upvotes as soon as possible, your post will probably die as there is no way to check older posts. You can check author's blog, but if he is not posting every day, you will miss him.
Another example could be this. If you are on gaming platform Twitch or on Youtube or Reddit and you want to explore other streamers or information, you can check all kind of new/old streamers with the random tab they have here.
Without this, you would never know about all the things you are missing out. And how they could be probably your favorites authors.
Random tab could be just that - random. It would not matter if you have high reputation or you just came by with your first post. There should all the posts which are not more than 7 days old and which we did not see yet.
How can we follow somebody if we dont even know they are alive on the platform?
I hate the fact that you can't leave a comment on old posts. And also, old posts don't earn anything with upvotes.
Besides that, Steemit is a beautiful platform.
Maybe you could make your own website with hidden gold?
Totally don't like that I can't leave comments on old post either haha
I am not sure if you are correct about the upvoting of the old posts.
If you have a lot of steem power you could probably start the payout time again if you would upvote. It was like that in HF17 I think. :)
Didn't know that :)
In contrast to the posts of whales, which always are maintained by voting bots and are in "top", posts of the beginners often remains behind the scenes.
For now there is only one chance to give them the second life - be resteemed by a user with higher reputation. Your idea is the alternative way, I'm "for".
vote up this article so the idea gets shared
I agree with you. Did you see the latest post about a contest for new ideas by @zappl? I left you a comment there.
Also resteemed this.
I did not.
I will check it later.
Thank very much ego! :)
EDIT: Oh, any ideas for this contest must be in their own post. I cant really post the same thing again. :) Maybe I will think of something else.
some epic ideas here, loving the random tab. Should have STEEM price on screen to :)
agreeeeee!!!
