RE: Is Activity on Steemit Slowing Down? The Truth Behind the Data - Steemit Business Intelligence
Thank you for such a detailed response. I wish I did find a way to be making more $$$ from my posts, but I think saying 'come for the money, stay for the community' holds true.
I just had a quick look at your post. I will come back to you later today with a reply (added to list)
I feel your pain regarding steemit. I too am not sure smt will solve the problem. and from analysing the data, there are a lot of problems.
Thank you again for your comment, I upvoted with my 5 cents
Thanks for your helpful comment and vote, Paula. It was clear that “dollars to be received” was not the force driving you to put together such a long and extremely useful piece.
I appreciate your offer to come back to me about my post. However, I do not want to go ahead with the work that I had in mind; because the conclusions that I thought I might reach and which might be helpful to authors can be dug out of your data and text, along with the follow-up comments.
The only important finding not stated in this web page (as I recall), and which emerges from the work that I had begun in another related post, is the strong suggestion in the data patterns that (a) certain classes of content tend to be significantly better favoured than others in terms of payout level, and (b) within each class you should expect a substantial payment mainly after you have built up a following large enough to bring you close to 200+ votes soon after your post (and probably including at least one whale).
Anyway, I’m going to focus now on discovering the people in my communities of interest and finding a way to be happy with their company. In the meantime, though, I will keep following you and pay attention to your articles.
Please do join us on discord anyway, you might just find other members on steemit with similar interests. There are a number of noted communities on this server, and if you can not find one, we can help you set one up. There are good people here on steemit :-)
BTW Paula, I just saw another author include in his post his Public Key addresses for BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, STEEM, etc., while suggesting reader donations. I asked him if he was getting flak for doing so, and tells me "no" and that he sees some whales doing the same.
I think it is a fabulous idea for people like you and I who will take many hours/days to produce stuff with 'green content' and good value for use by a relatively small audience of specialists. I strongly advise you to do that, so that we who understand what sort of effort, knowledge and skill are behind your output can take action to try and make up for the ridiculous "payment" you are getting from the system. Pl. note, that I was already offering to pay people directly for their work to help me in my projects, and that is precisely because I find the payment levels available to us meaningless!
that is very interesting, and worth considering. I have been working online 7 years now @lestatisticien. I am on steemit only a few months. I will tell you my growth on steemit has been more rapid that many other platforms. I live in Ireland, posting on steemit does not pay to make a living here. But look at other countries where $10 a day makes a big difference. That is where steemit can benefit.
but the cream goes to the top - this is annoying too (very)
