RE: Mini Pool Meeting | Hanging with some Whales | Why Steemit Needs to Become More Content Focused

in #steemit7 years ago

Ok Yeah you did ramble a bit :) but I always like video postings that have the text with it so I can read and listen .. or not :) You made a comment about needing more diverse content on steemit and mentioned makeup. My teenage daughter had a channel for a while on youtube for that exact purpose and had thousands of views on some of her videos. But she ultimately deleted her account and content entirely because people's comments were brutal and personally hurtful. The answer may be, if you don't like the water then get out of the pool, but if we attract those kinds of morons to this platform then i too will get out of the pool.

Hey @whitesj40 I can totally see that and yeah that would be rough for a teenage girl. That said I think every Youtuber is going to run into trolls and haters. I'm a Youtuber myself and I'm pretty fortunate that I have a super supportive audience. I don't really get a ton of haters and when I do my subscribers are typically pretty quick to quiet them. That said I can see a makeup channel getting some hate. That's unfortunate. If your daughter decides to give it another go I'd tell her that anyone who has the time and effort to do something unproductive like hate on her is doing nothing themselves and their opinions are worthles

Steemit actually has a pretty good mechanism for controlling behavior in the flagging. If you get flagged for being an idiot by someone with more earned credibility than you it devastates your profile.
