RE: "UNDERVALUE-OVERVALUE" /rant. (#1)
OK, so what's the point of this? You are telling a bunch of people how to handle their money. You are adressing the outcome of a deeper problem, that is rooted in the way the site operates in general.
No shit the content is garbage. I've written about this extensively. And it's not only the writers, but the readers as well.
The platform is pay-per-action. All of these problems aren't going to go away until Steemit is established as a legitimate social media platfrom, that is not tighed with the volatility of the crypto market.
It's not the whales.
You're absolutely right, this is just another one of those tens or even hundreds of those rants on the exact same topic!
You can say there's no point to it but as they say "hope is the comfort of the fool" and I am the fool that pushes the same snowball in hope it gets big enough to make a change. (Which won't probably happen any time soon).
Thank you for coming out with your own arguments, I have not thought about this that way. I will definitely look through your posts in order to read more about what you have in mind!
Don't get me wrong, I totally get the urge to write such posts at least once a week. In the end, there are certain conditions that must be met to facilitate real change and not just patches.
Unfortunatley those with the most invested (and most to lose) act in a manner that is most detrimental for the long term success of Steem - they should be doing all they can for the long term success as they have the most to lose.
I tend to disagree that content here is garbage in general - there is some bad content around but thats true for every platform! I think there is loads of good content out there if you go looking - I follow loads of great Steemians with awesome blogs.
They "shouldn't" be doing nothing that is not in line with what they want. They're making decent money. They don't actually have any real incentive for this platform to be a mainstream social media, because that way they'll lose their tight grip on the reward pool and influence they have in here.
And sure, there's great content here (pareto principle). But it's not highlighted organically. The engagement itself isn't organic.
I guess cash is king. Thats true I didnt think about it that way - but in saying that if we do get mass adoption this could lead to some massive investors down the line which could lead to Steem having a big increase in price - so there is some incentive for them.
Yeah thats true you have to go searching for the best content which isnt how it should be
