RE: Developing professional communities
Applications are the future of Steem but their success depends on leveraging the community to garner support. They need content to fill their sites and of course, eyes to consume the content.
...I used a dormant account - post hf20.
It had no sp.
I posted 1 post and 3 comments.
I had no more RC's to anything else until the day after. I could not interact on the social platform, called steemit.
If I had just joined I would have left, and never come back.
How does this help steemit to grow? To fill the site with content?
(because it's totally beyond me).
It's great having the best tech the best smt's or whatever , in the world - for when everyone comes...
Betamax was superior to VHS, but hey...
Just my opinion, what would I know? lol
you are looking at the situation now, not in the future. HF 20 allows for new infrastructure to be built upon it that will aid users so none of that is an issue and it can scale much larger than pre-hf20 could. As i have said, this place isn't ready for everyone to do anything they want.
Have you read about what hf20 changed, what it has done so far and what potentially can be built upon it?
...the problem with forever looking into the future - and ignoring the issues of right now, is that that the future never actually arrives...
The graveyard of a million projects, can testify to that one...
Well, have a look at how Resource credit pools work and how apps can onboard with them for starters. What people don't seem to realize is that previously, no more than 10m users could be on the platform and none could ever have more than 30 SP.
....the place is bleeding active users !
What difference does it make if we can have space for 100 million users if it has a reputation for being crap, and is empty?
A bad reputation is hard to recover from....
The active users who know what is going on here aren't bleeding, they are developing a place where active users can be supported properly. What you are missing is that without these steps, there is no way to stop any bleed but many of those inactive users are likely to come back once the platform has a better process.
Well, I hope I'm very wrong...
Btw, 15 SP was always considered the absolute minimum to hold to interact. The system was not designed for accounts with no stake. Resource credits means that now it is.
...just in case you missed it... ! lol
