RE: Why Do Scientists Blog, Who Is The Audience And How Can Steemit Play A Role?
It's been said that a post loses about 50% (or other large %) of their readers for every equation in a post. Posts with math in them just don't pay very well on steemit, with few exceptions.
Posts that explain some important math application are starting out with a great disadvantage and add to that the multiple tags for the same thing. Can anyone explain the difference between math, maths, mathematics? Shouldn't those 3 tags default into one subject?
Readers that like posts with math in them need to check out math, maths and mathematics to keep abreast of math posts.
I could very well see that. If science is dry then math is a desert. People using more then one tag for it ... Well that is a problem that good curation could fix, with a reward emphasis on only one tag.
