RE: When people will start quitting Steemit
The real problem is not that there is so much lousy content in the news section, but that the trending page is people gaming the system. A lot of discussion has been made about that and maybe something will happen. But I think that it would be great with some way people could promote quality posts so they were easier to find in all the desperate or cynical crap.
Good point.
I guess the "New" section will remain unchanged, since it features everything people post, including garbage content that will never get significant rewards.
The "Hot" section, from what I saw, has a few interesting articles from time to time, but I can't count the amount of times I saw articles like "PRICE OF STEEM GOING UP" or "BITCOIN SKYROCKETING TODAY!" containing nothing but an image with the price of Bitcoin or Steem. I keep wondering how that's supposed to be "hot".
And the trending page... I don't even look at it. There's no point in doing that.
Things kinda need to improve when it comes to the attention good creators get, because right now, it's hard to get noticed no matter what you do. New users will realize that sooner or later and will stop publishing anything on this website, and those who've been here for a while may quit simply because there's no point publishing something that will get stuck between memes and pictures with people who for some reason believe they deserve upvotes for showing their face.
I'm curious to see what will happen in the future, if anything will change, or if having a lot of Steem Power will be the only requirement to make a lot of money no matter what content people create.
