RE: Pay to Play – The Future of Steemit
I think that's a market cap of crypto thing. BTC plummeted, steem went back to $1.34 or so. I think as the price rises everyone will come back. We'll see. Only thing that I find that I find that correlates activity on the platform is price. Doesn't mean that's the only thing. It's the only thing I've found so far.
I can tell you definitively that creatives are leaving. Several people in The Writers Block have left Steemit, and many more are contemplating it. We have a meeting scheduled for the weekend to discuss possibilities. They are not leaving because of the crypto. They are leaving because they realize they can't compete in the current ecosystem and are getting no visibility, despite consistently producing quality content. They were doing much better on the platform last year than they are now, even before the price of crypto spiked.
Totalmente deacuerdo contigo mi estimada @rhondak, eso a lo que hace mención es la pura realidad, por tal motivo es importante tomar las acciones correspondientes en equipo.
If they want visibility though this isn't that platform for them at all, most people here want rewards. The fact that someone can start blogging/posting videos and actually start to earn a few bucks per post by joining a community is something that does not exist anywhere else.
Posts on steemit largely don't get many views as more people's folowers are bots.
If they want visibility it is a mistake to only post on steemit, it is also a mistake to not post on steemit. Posting everywhere like Medium/Facebook/Minds/Reddit/Voat/Making your own website/Blogger/ etc, if people want visibility they need to be everywhere.
Through my time on steemit and on the internet in general as a youtuber/blogger, people give up on making videos/blogging because they don't make any money within the first few months. The only reason it takes them longer to give up on steemit is that they were making some money the whole time but it isn't enough. Steemit onnly has less than 1 million total accounts with a lot being bots, it is still very early on this platform.
LikeI said, people who want visibility will figure out how to get it, people who want to only make money will quit making posts.
