Just to play devil's advocate here a bit - if I put that time and effort into improving steemit.com, there wouldn't be any rewards for my work.
I also fundamentally want to build something different than steemit.com, because steemit.com isn't my preferred kind of website :)
I'm in no means hating on the idea or the site. I'm just simply stating I don't think it's for me.
I'm all for people creating something better and earning money from it. I would rather keep that 15% of my earnings is all unless that 15% is going to get my some sort of ROI.
Just to play devil's advocate ;) prove to me that 15% I lose on the site gets me more views and upvotes (a better ROI) and I'll sign up in a heart beat.
Absolutely, and to each his own! I just wanted to put down the other side.
As for proving it gets more views and upvotes - that's not my goal. My goal isn't to give a platform for you (or others) to individually earn more rewards, it's to provide a platform that allows groups of people to better collaborate and talk, while still earning some rewards.
Steemit is the blogging platform and by all means keep your blog posts and things you want high visibility there, but hopefully people will find some value in chainBB as the discussion platform where we don't have to worry about pretty images and
fonts, and can focus on ideas and each other.
I appreciate the dialog and I need that opposing view point, thanks! :)
OOOOOOO I get it now! Thanks for sharing! That helped me better understand the niche it's trying to fill
