RE: Today I learned Steemit had turned into an episode of The Walking Dead
You bring up a good point, there is not much to learn here anymore. The diy and maker crowds are what keep many forums alive, but they are not rewarded here.
Unfortunately it is not profitable to post tutorials or guides for anything but steem propaganda. Many have tried and left already, the rewards obviously were not enough and the platform changes stopped it. There is no reason to post good information here when you cannot earn advertising from it, keep it updated, or even get replies after a month.
If you had to pick a target market that deserves more time and attention, teachers, diy'ers, and builders posting knowledge would be the ones with the best return.
There have been rewards for posting tutorials and good educational pieces, but unfortunately that time has passed. I think, rather than just worrying about rewards, we should look at ways to better categorize our content so that we can easily find what we want to look at. If we do that, then we will quickly see people sticking to their categories, rather than trying to expand to where the rewards are. It'll also bring people in who're familiar with certain topics, whom see that there are rewards for those topics. Right now it's a topic free for all...
