RE: We´re Gonna Be Legends - A Post For Steemit Newbies
Very inspiring. I like it.
The cool thing is it seems to be a rather level playing field. It is hard to break into YouTube because the algorithm favors the large entrenched channels. Its not like that here as far as I can tell.
Yeah that is very cool. I try to respond to all my YouTube comments, but it is hard. That is one of the tradeoffs I suppose when Steemit takes off someday.
Sure, right now it´s all familiar and you can easily manage your content and reactions.
However, the 7-day-payout will change that already a bit. If you post let´s say one article per day you´ll have 7 running at the same time.
Just considering this article and the other one I published yesterday, I´ve been around 2 hours reading comments and replying to them. That´s hard work if you really engange with people and their beliefs and if you want to give them something back.
I´ll have a break now, go surfing and free my mind :)
Happy Sunday!
Thank you @old-guy-photos! Well just thinking about the barriers to entry, steemit has a lot of advantages. Here you can just start and produce a trending article with a huge payout at the very first day (it has happened several times). On other platforms you need to build the reputation first.
We're in the very early days here, and I can tell you that YouTube was just like this in the very early days, as far as community. Most everyone on YT knew most everyone else, and the stars would converse with the everyday video uploaders. That's why I am enjoying this time, because Steemit will take off, and it will be a different place, if it follows what happened at YT. Still Great, but in a different way with a different feel.
That´s surely why most of us are here: we know that this is going to become something really great - and then we´ll all gonna be part of it, right from the start :)
Thanks, Kenny!
Yeah I missed the early days. I have only been on YT for 5 years, but hear a lot of the old-timers talk about how much better it was in the early days.
Even though Im fairly new, I do think it is really cool here now!
