the last time i started on a social media platform where people got paid to post i ended up with + 90.000 followers,on TSU .

Back then there was actually a top 100 of people with the most followers and i only made it to the top 20 of that , wonder if there is such a list on steemit , it should be possible to create one i guess. ?

it made it a lot easier to find people worth following because the ones with high numbers also created Original Content , copy cats don't last long.

Congratulations and is TSU still around? O.O I am interested never heard of it.

thank you , TSU.co pulled the plug August 2016 , and now it's up for sale

P.S.: Oh and Congrats of course!

thank you Master Fraenk for using your googlyeyes to help me out :)

i didn't know that you could alter steemwhales.com like that

see, for once I was able to show you something, too!

Yay... Now I'll go and celebrate that :P

Congrats!

... because the ones with high numbers also created Original Content

I'm not sure you can use that as a general rule on Steemit.

thank you ;) not sure either if that works here , since no one actually removes copyright violations here, they do need moderators here , or change the moderating system so that violators get punished.

thank you very much

congratulation!!

Congratz on getting the 500 mark. I just had the same!

I do wonder about your point though... People with high numbers of following doesn't necessarily mean they have Quality Content. I've seen some (I don't call out names, that's disrespectful) and those profiles were pretty much garbage. Posting a meme or something and getting $50+.
Sometimes, the ones with lower followers can be as great too!

i consider memes as garbage only 1% is original and only 0.05% use original images .

Congratulations Mick! I've got some work to do to catch up to you.

thank you Erik , busy sorting things on what to pack for moving and what to throw away :)

Oh man, it's such a chore, but a great "cleaning" opportunity. You find things and think WTF am I keeping that for? Or things to donate, etc. Hope your move is as smooth as possible.

i'll let you know once we get there :)

Congrats on 500!!
Aww you kept a printscreen from tsu :))

yep i even have more prints screens from TSU mostly spam reports :)

Sweet memories :p

I went to Wikipedia to learn a little more about TSU and its decline. That could serve as a cautionary tale for Steemit.

I believe that Steemit in its current form is not sustainable; that it will need to find a manner outside of its own users to display or prove an economic value. Or if it can create an internal marketplace that functions well. Right now IMO Steemit is riding on a wave of the growing interest in crypto and for that identification and popularity its "currency" is accepted. Popularity alone is not going to sustain it.

I am very open to hear counter arguments and discussion. I would like to see Steemit morph itself into something sustainable. I am working on some ideas that may be able to help in that direction which I will post when they are better developed and presentable.

More details about your experience with TSU could be valuable as to learn why TSU failed.

there are a lot of Old Tsu people on steemit we use the #tsufamily tag every now and then :) but what killed tsu was income was based on advertising and just like on steemit script kiddies fucked things up with bots , on tsu they created views but low click ratio on ads and on steemit they make bots that upvote eachother regardles of what they post https://steemit.com/spaminator/@spaminator/367-active-spam-accounts-added-8-9-2018-471
