RE: The Hierarchy of Engagement on Steemit
This is interesting 😋 Thanks for sharing it.
A way to measure build their brand could be Steem Power. You could include any non-vested assets in the Steem wallet also, as they are part of author rewards. Increase might matter too, though I can imagine this being debated against.
However maybe that just shows that increasing Steem Power, and thus influence, is the core action of Steemit.
This might be problematic because of course it doesn't apply outside of Steemit, which building your brand does, so there's pros and cons.
Side note, I don't think a core action needs to be reduced to something a button could do right? Every post could be seen as directly or indirectly writing about your brand or promoting your brand if it comes from your brand, i.e. your account, and thus any positive reflection on that builds your brand.
True. But all of the best sites have figured out how to get the user to think to themselves, "Why am I here? Oh yeah, this thing right here!" And that thing is usually a simple UI component that leads to the core action. So, while I'm simplifying to a button, it'll probably still have to be a simple UI component of some kind.
Well what are the core actions on the other social networks, that might be a good place to start 🙂
likes = votes = payout, the problem is this isn't twitter facebook or reddit and has a backend that everyone should know. Newbies get on board vote 300 times and wonder where is their payout. Post once see 5 votes see they have to read 100 posts before they are a blogger and they can start building a following so after 5 years they can make a bang ? wellllll there is facebook like ,swipe people are there, youtube never lets you go facebook doesn't either :D
If I wasn't a fringe thinker I wouldn't be here. I like the content in youtube and I visit facebook once in a while, I'm just not a fan of endless scrolls and the bullshit they spill out, they keep their fanbase docile and make millions off their backs. So they promote the like and connection, but they sell you and sell to marketers nothing to like there. There is a chance here, but It has to be simpler either bring in the community together to house everybody, or yeah we can watch the voting ghost armies forever trails for life mining content rewards :D
Yeah, I looked into this briefly by looking at the about pages for various sites.
For LiveJournal, they want "self-expression" via publishing to be fundamental.
For reddit, I interpret it to be "conversation" via sharing, voting, and discussion.
For github (they often portray as a social network), commits and pull requests.
again we should be here to curate and create. Simple as that. I'm thinking along the same lines and will make a post with my ideas soon enough :) a UI uplift is around the corner maybe :)
Ohh, I like that. Curate and Create. There's gotta be a way to make it into a three-C-alliteration ... like:
first rules. the latter I wouldn't say so the first is a used word and it fits
create change and curate
check curate and create
both are terrible in my mind they sound great and all :D
but I got two most used words from a list :D
so it's not natural.
my personal experience was Join for the payout Stay for the people
Start with 10$ worth of Steem and Support what you love by curating creating and cultivating , maybe (what gives you value)
Actually sounds like a nice pitch :D
well we haven't got the third one yet, it is supposed to be coming so .. curate, create, community
