RE: Somewhat Reluctant: This Doesn't Need To Be Any Harder Than It Already Is
"Content producers seem to outnumber those who focus on sitting back and enjoying stuff. That needs to change..."
Agreed. I feel like we can do both but that is not enough. I want an audiance of among the general population of content consumers. The trick is drawing them to this site.
"they all blended in with the crowd, stole the visibility from those interested in producing real content and building real followings."
I remember. I started when it was at its worst, I think. It all seemed pretty scammy around here and I totally understood why people didn't see a future. It's nice to see things changing.
"Damn right we're doing something right if the small handful of people who caused that mess go away."
I'll melt the tar, you get the feathers. Lol
The trick is having a solid core and a variety of forms of entertainment (I use the term loosely, even an essay about black holes is entertainment to someone) that we, as the foundation, build up, in order to attract a broad consumer base who came here after they learned they could get paid to be entertained, but not get rich, just earn as they go and treat themselves every now and again. They can't have that anywhere else and they'd benefit greatly getting in early before their very actions cause an unstoppable demand for the token. I've written about how to create an internal advertising market as well, to create more demand. Now that the paid votes are going away, these things can become a reality, along with all of the other developments that bring value to this place. Huge money to be made in entertainment. People here can create a new thing. Call it Social Entertainment instead of social media, since this platform combines elements of social media and content production. I'm talking too much. Why must I always be the one who has to pluck the chickens?
"Social Entertainment"
Nice. I feel like that could catch on.
