RE: Quality over Quantity: What will the future of Steemit look like and is your self worth only a few cents ?
I have upvoted you and followed you because you deserve it, not because I want you to do the same. I might even resteem your post. =)
Seriously, I myself like the fact that you can earn here and I would like to earn writing about things I am interested in, but you can't deny the fact there is a different audience for different things, and the size of those audiences is also different. I am even considering getting some of my colleagues on board, for example, so we can have a bit of an education oriented discussion going here. There is a huge community of researchers out there on websites like ResearchGate, etc., that post great pieces for free. If they posted them here, they would at least get a bit of cash for it provided there is an audience for it here (and there is practically none).
I hear you about those non-reading followers. It is sad, but it is money)
Correction
It turns out I am already following you)
Lol you likely were following me cause I asked you to follow me earlier when I first joined hahaha jk
Thanks for the compliment though. As for the community of researchers have faith in Steemit as it is still relatively really new unheard of to most people and I believe they just ended the beta phase so it might grow , actually I expect it to grow a lot more user wise. I think last year this time there was about 50k users and now there is over a million maybe more than a million but definitely a million.
The cool thing is the tag features allow the posts to be visible under Jose tag categories. So people interested I certain topics can use the tags to search.
My main concern is that hopefully it doesn't turn into just people doing contests for money all the time but the beautify of the net is that the user base can decide what to turn the site into.
Yeah, we'll see. I am curious about Steem's future and hope it doesn't end up being a place for a few chosen ones (or if it does, I hope to be one of them =)))
Lol I know what you mean. Also the saying is true, "the rich get richer". We already have seen this happen on steemit with people who have YouTube channels with tens of thousands of followers that come and post here and get between 500-2K per post. I mean some of it deserved since they are helping steemit grow with new members coming to the site. However of them are mid size YouTubers who already have crappy videos for the most part. Crappy videos as in their content was good in the beginning and still wil psot something interesting one in while, but 90% of their posts aren't even giving any advice. Rather they are basically bragging about how much money and great their life if cause they hit big on bitcoin and think just because they have a nice cushion of money from btc that people are interested in videos they make of them going to buy food. They post videos of themselves going grocery shopping from crying out loud WTF . What is more pathetic is people watch these 20 min vlogs and upvote it. I guess you know if you made it if you can post a video on here eating cereal and nothing else and get 200 dollars for doing that shit. lol
I hear you. =) What is really surprising is that people support that. It is just weird. I don't understand that. It is true that humanity deserves everything that's happening to it - we are pretty much the cause of it. =)
Buy let's end this here. You're oppressed. I'm oppressed. The world is stupid. What can you do? Be a better, hard working person.
