Does seem to be a problem. I post decent videos here with thumbnails, tags, etc. But no one watches them at all unless I push people from other platforms here...

The problem is from the outside its starting to look like a complicated ponzi scheme, since the only way to be on this platform is if you buy steempower or buy votes from people with steem power. Or scheme the system with bots which most people wont want to do morally...

Maybe Im missing something and just dont understand the system... but thats the problem, ive been around a while, learned alot, but it still doesnt make any sense, gonna be hard to develop a mass market with such a confusing barrier to entry, and people blatantly gaming the system...
