The current ecosystem of Steemit is unsustainable

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

You make money with Steemit only if:

-you are an extremely talented writer,artist etc. and your posts are very professional (which is not the case for 90% of the users)

-you have huge amount of money to invest into your account,then once you have tens of thousands of Steem Power and few hundreds to pay an upvote bot, you can post any few words garbage,it will land on the Trending page. (please you tell me how many people have even just $1000 to invest into Steem?)

Other than these two cases,there is no freakin' way you ever make a buck on this platform.Look at the Trending page right now! Has nothing to do with quality,but with money and Steem Power!

And that's exactly why Steemit has 1 million account,but only a fraction of this number active.Regular users with no special talent and money to invest, abandon their accounts after a short period of time,once they realize the cards are stacked against them.But can the Steemit ecosystem survive without the little guys on a long run?

The answer is no,yet a lot of whales don't seem to be very concerned about this and could care less about the Minnows,or anyone else.

So what could be done in order to level the playing field?

GROUPS

The platform desperately needs groups,so members of these groups (regardless of their status or the money they invested into their accounts) have a much better chance to expose their posts.

TRENDING PAGE

Right now it is simply a money competition,nothing else.The more you can spend on upvoting bots,the more chance you have to be on it.What does it have to do with quality? Absolutely NOTHING!
In my opinion,only posts with the most ORGANIC votes should be competing for the Trending Page and those upvoted by bots should go to the Promoted Page (because that's what they are,PROMOTED by the author by paying a service).

This two additional feature and adjustment could drastically change the landscape of @steemit,I believe for the better,and increase the number of active users,plus drawing new ones to the platform.

What do you think?What other changes do you suggest?

Hola. lo que escribiste lo he venido observando. Es una lastima que no nos demos la oportunidad de crecer y convertirnos en escritores con talentos.
He estado como una sardinita en este oceano. No tengo dinero para invertir y menos para perder.
Contiuo aqui por distraerme. Leo y comento, eso me hace mentalmente organizar mis pensamientos y salir de una rutina agobiante que estoy viviendo.

Gracias por publicar el articulo.

Gracias por su comentario. ¿Qué otros cambios necesita Steemit en su opinión?

Hola. asumiendo el èxito del perezoso, hay que pensar mas y trabajar menos. Pensando y pensando, ya que ahora no publico seguido. Propongo, bombardear las ballenas para invitarle a invertir en nosotros como instrumentos de prestigios para ellas.
me imagino unos articulos que hablen sobre la inversion ganar ganar. por ejemplo. asi garantizamos calidad.
Bueno es una idea loca.
