Thanks! That is great to hear! Yeah right now we have a problem with so many different platforms. It's hard to connect everyone together.
But eventually the ideal is that the Blockchain technology is just so much better than the rivals that it will be easier to make all followers come together in one place and have both sides bring more value together. Instead of this one sided thing we see with YouTube and blogs.
Mainly why the one sided thing has happened is because the followers feel like they are being left out of the value chain. Their comments and time is being undervalued. Which means everyone is searching for ways to manipulate the others and it makes stuff less real and authentic. Because real and authentic is not being rewarded on the old platforms so the creators doesn't have an incentive to be real. But it looks like it's slowly changing now with the new Blockchain technology.
Right now we have a cycle on Steemit of 7 day payout. Imagine when this starts to work in real time exchange of getting payout in 5 mins. Then we will truly start to see stuff changing very fast. Because these platforms give more power to people it's gonna be very interesting to see how it will scale. The older generations will have a very hard time keeping up. Nice to hear that you work on your first product!
Thanks for your post! Nobody knows how Steemit will develop and in which direction it will go. In the case of Google, YouTube and Co. - overexpansion of an empire can be a reason to fall. And Google with its hundreds of services is kind of a roman empire. The question is - where are the gauls? ;-)
Well it's pretty simple actually. World population is going up to 10 billion. No company can keep them all under 1 brand. It's just too many. Considering how intelligent 1 human can be. One thing is clear. Every time in history when we find something that is better then we never go back! Because we want to save time and energy that's how we are wired.
We are all working towards a better future. And it's working. But we are too zoomed in to see the bigger picture of what we are doing. Clearly we are living in some pretty wild times compared to for earlier people. But we have been super intelligent thousands of years ago.. The pyramids... Probably our AI can figure out how to build pyramids just like our ancestors did! ;)
