RE: Introducing Steepshot for the Web. Login to Steepshot and enjoy amazing photos!

No. Screening is not what I suggested.
Targeted enrollment is more accurate.
Still leaving it free for all to join.
Essentially the model of sports brands.
They connect with athletes they see value in.
Thus acquire the exact audience for their product.

It's not like it isn't already happening.
There's quite a few identities here which are "athletes".
Some are not relatable though.
They will find success anywhere.

It needs more everyday types with unique perspective.
Which would then drive the influx of those who say..
"Hey I can do that, here.. give me a go"

The pitch of "you can make money, come join"
Sort of sells a lie that there is nothing to it.
However, as you can see... the beggars of "vote for vote"
Have flooded the system. That is not a good aspect.

There is quality here, of course. I thought I would add this.
In case my message is received with negative tone.
Discovery of quality is obviously on the user..
But then again, that's not really a great system.

Sort:  

I agree with you to a point. I do see many accounts that post spam on this platform. I compare Steemit to Reddit, and you can see similarities between post on both platforms. I see Steemit becoming more and more flooded with "vote for vote" users. My point though is, as long as the true Steemers continue to post quality, we will be alright. Stay blessed my friend

Yeah I agree with you also.
This is why steemit needs to upgrade.
Take from others and implement it here.

  • Recommendations
  • Feed prerequisites (tag based)
  • Rising stars, Most follow-able
  • Controversial zone (like the nsfw tag)
  • Elite zone (for professionals and intellectuals)

All these would aid users with the discovery process.
Thus growing the quality aspect much faster.
Can't do much about the parasites.
Opportunists are switched on!
