RE: Are You Really Playing The Steem Long Game?

in #steemit • 7 years ago

I would really think we would be better off in a smaller, but more articulated company.

NO
Ten times NO.

We desperately need a simple quantity of user even if we sacrifice quality a bit. The sheer numbers is the power of any social media. Numbers drive adoption further and bring businesses into the network. Right now I prefer 1 million spammers to 10k genius-level crypto-folks. Because no single company will expand its social-media efforts into the space where are 10k active accounts.

I'd said no matter how much I love Steemit but if we won't reach 1 million active users this year I get my investments off the table.

    Have a look at the first 4 years. reddit followed pretty much the same exclusivist / elitist community style steemit tries to implement. Also, this charts really shows what I understand by "long game'. The first 4 years on reddit were absolutely rubbish, I agree, because the community was so elitist. But that core of elitist members generated a stable-explosive growth once they got enough "weight".

    Numbers never lie.

    Of course, we can gently agree to disagree.

    Nice chart. But steem has much less than 8 years to reach 1 Mil of users.
