RE: What this place is missing... (and how so many here are just struggling against reality)
Steem as an investment layer doesn't need young people, although it would be good if young people participated. However, the interfaces and applications definitely do and hopefully some of the new games and the like will attract some in. The young masses don't care about earnings or future yet, but some might start soon enough when jobs for the young are even scarcer in a world that is continually becoming more expensive.
What a lot of the young people have failed to recognize is, the apps and gadgets they use are not invested into by the young, it is old bankers and venture capitalists in their 50s, 60s and 70s with money. No 20 year old gave Zuckerberg millions to startup and develop.
The young have a chance to be owners and investors here as young people for perhaps the first time in history and being so actually gives them sway beyond that of consumer class.
A few thoughts, as of yet, there are still plenty of jobs for young people. Not the greatest, but some quite alright. The market is not that desperate.
And rn, young people care about life and day to day expenses, not about being investors.
But that does bring up the interesting point of investing both time, energy and money in Steem. Why would young or old do that?
The platform has been dragging and regurgitating the same content over and over for a year now. I don't see too many people, young or old, coming in here thinking wow what a vibrant community, i should invest in it.
It's a nice idea, one that might be adapted elsewhere. That seems to be more along the lines...
