RE: The Steemit Dream, is it still alive?
For first worlders, steemit's value is community. Also, I'd like to see the rise of a third type of user: the reader/patron. Help your favourite creators by upvoting. Even better if you powerup a few STEEM. This usn't the same as a curator user because there is less time commitment but the reward mechanism (curation rewards, reputation, community feelgood) already exist on steem.
As far as I've seen, there are already a few people that are operating that way, and from my personal experience, I can say that they are vital to the community.
I'm a wannabe content creator - but actually a reader / investor in practise. Haha. It'll come.
That's a great point. I am first a content creator, so for me a challenge is setting aside the right amount of time for just reading posts, upvoting and commenting. I noticed right away, that's how you get to know people.
It would be a good idea to have an advertisement that was all about bringing in those reader/patrons. When I think of the potential rewards from just reading and commenting... $$
I bet the rise of that third type of user is coming soon. Thanks for commenting.
Steemvoter style autovoters are kinda like Patreon's pay per post option. Though a more Patreon like interface would help make that more obv.
Though - autovoters are a contentious issue.
