A lot of people feel this way.
If there is one thing I have learned reading through all this drama, it's that steem is a garbage website. Either it will improve, or there will be a new blockchain based social platform that will replace it.
Many people are sending money to haejin directly as they see no point in buying steem to support this platform. I have only been here a month and I can tell you it is quite a lot more complaining and voting bots then it is quality content.
Maybe i'm missing something, if so, please tell me what I am missing. How is this website so great that @haejin is the one ruining it by creating actual content?
Steem has good quality content that needs to be curated, most of the times you can find it in the hot and trending sections, but if you give it enough time, you will make some nice curation in the new section too.
If haejin is gaming the system, what does that make bernie?
I am sharing my opinion. I can find better content on reddit, 4chan, even facebook for fucks sake.
Me and many others come to this website to learn more about cryptocurrency. Other content is garbage thanks to whales having massive control over what content is seen whereas smaller users votes mean nothing. Until this problem is solved, this platform will not be successful.
People use this website as a means to make money, not as a means to promote quality content. That is why it is full of bots, shills, and ignorant garbage who can't see there are two sides to an argument.
@studgriffin, I agree that you "...can find better content on reddit, 4chan, even facebook...".
But keep in mind that Steemit is much younger than all those platforms and is still having growing pains.
I disagree that all the other content on Steemit is garbage. There are plenty of interesting content creators on here.
They can be found by searching through the "New" and "Hot" tabs at the top of the site.
"People use this website as a means to make money, not as a means to promote quality content." Some people do. Some people don't. Some people are somewhere in the middle.
People use this website as a means to make money, not as a means to promote quality content. - It seems that this is exactly what Haegin is doing.
