Steem(it) has become very silent. My blog posts are generating very little interest here (especially from whales), thus I have for the first time (just moments ago) posted a copy of this blog to Medium to access a larger audience and hopefully more technical audience who can appreciate.
What is the compelling reason to post blogs at Steem(it)?
As illustration of the point of my blog, am I supposed to trust that the whales of Steemit will always perpetuate my blog content and continue to keep the blockchain operational if the value of Steem fades away and their priorities change? What advantage then would Steem have over Medium.
Is the reward for doing activity meritorious here. I can't build up a fanbase and monetize it when my fans aren't whales (or at least dolphins).
