RE: Perspective: Steem was meant to be for content creators and consumers

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

I am still hopeful that at some point good content will be rewarded accordingly. I am just here for almost 50 days and I am proud to say that I provided good contents (got curie'd once) but most of the time my content are hanging in mid-air. Then there are others who just posted a meme or a grabbed photo, original photos but blurred, low quality yet they are earning better than my posts.

Is it safe to say unfair?

Sort:  

Agree that good post will be rewarded but this is not a case if you are new user. Main problem of Steemit is that new users without money invested in SP will advance very hard. Their posts, even great ones will hardly be seen.

@cicbar: One reason with the struggle is the misconception. Those who invited them to steemit gave high hopes of earning huge.

I am not talking about earnings. Look how many views, not votes, have posts from new users without SP even if they are really good posts.

It’s discovery that is the issue here. Building subtags and a good follow list helps, but if you’ve only got Trending and Hot to guide you, it’s quite a slog. Curation accounts can only do so much. Also doesn’t help that Steemit tends to only return the last 7 days worth of posts in the tag views. Yeah, stuff is outside of the reward window (comments still accrue), but sometimes I just want to read stuff and see people!

Agree😁

Does SP somehow get your posts in front of more eye? I’m pretty new and had some support through curie, but when I look at my articles the amount of people actually looking at them is pretty low.

No but with high SP your vote is worth more and if you comment or post something and upvote yourself, your comment or post will be at higher place.

There's no concept of fairness in a free market like Steem. That said, if there were a 100 Curie-like curation projects and individual curators, maybe a lot of really good content will be discovered. Steem does offer curation rewards for that.

I truly agree sir. I just hope also that these new curation efforts doesnt require payments just like curie.

There's a lot of plagiarism going around, but if it's about money, what can you do? There will be constant influx of people, who see this platform as a $ making machine, but without the good content there's no future for steemit really as the value of steem can only go up in the long term if steemit becomes valuable through its content. Also how much can you speculate on crappy or stolen posts? I fully believe it's possible to solve this problem through community action or another hard fork.

Let's hope for that @conradino23 and also, maybe helping out @steemcleaners do their crusade to combat these low quality stuff

hell i found a 50word short story the other day that stole a famous line attributed to Hemmingway. The poster tried to be all, "i didn't know" and "I changed it".

Changed one word. Still got like $5 for the post. Pft.
