It is 2019 it is time to allow the EVOLUTION happen.
Personally I feel a lot of original users of @steemit that are big dolphins or whales are offering a lot of resistance when it comes to microblogging dapps here in the Steem network.
In this times People consume way more that type of content than the long extensive reading one.
I am not saying that is not important and something that should keep being shared but we need to go with the times and bring to the table what the People want to watch.
I am ready for any backlash that this might bring but I felt I had to say something about it.
Let's support more the microblogging dapps in the Steem network and their creators.

Personally, and I know your post wasn't directed at me, I have nothing against microblogging Style posts and people can actually publish whatever they want, I'm just not going to vote on them 🤷 I prefer to reward other kind of content, I appreciate longer posts, or with a lot of pictures, or long videos. Micro posts don't attract my attention at all.
but that is the beauty of it. You don't have to but if people are not letting others post how they want then that to me is a problem......
No one should get put down unless they steal another person's post......and I have had that happen more than once...........
but in the end, it is our right to vote on whatever we wish........ same as writing what we want and how.
I just REALLY wish they would stop calling me an Old Fart!!!! :D there are many young old peeps here too!! I just happen to have white hair......and might be kind of old-ish
takes soapbox and goes back to my little corner of the world :D
Exactly! That's one of the best parts of the Blockchain! No censorship nor rules about content creation :)
What's this all about? Is there people trying to police the way content is being published? Regarding format, not content per se.
Ahaha to hell to whoever is calling you an old fart!
yeah, that is what he is saying in his video........ that people that like to do 'whatever he calls it' are being told they are "blogging wrong" on Steem(it). .......
and agree it's just so wrong...... the whole point of this blockchain is freedom to create how we all want.... if we all did the same thing how boring it would be.
and thanks! about the Old'F :D my head is still young which makes me young..so they need to find a better name for stick in the muds :D
Yes yes I saw part of the vid, but is there some names?
We are as young as we feel Snook! :))
he didn't say but he is not the only one I have seen talk about this.....
and yes we are :D so I'm about 12 to 23 most times..really depends on the day LOLL
Ohhh who else have been talking about it? I actually haven't seen anyone else doing it. 😉 Would love to go and take a look.

Nan I am not here for that drama as I told you on the other reply this is just to try and bring some awareness to this situation that I think it is a negative here in our community.
There are already enough drama happening out there. Don't want to be in the middle of that ehehe
Posted using Partiko Android
I don't do drama but I do stand of for peoples right to post what they want as long as they don't steal.
It is not about wrong or right. But I feel that bigger Influencers in here and people that have built themselves as creators by doing extensive type of posts look down to all other type of creators in the platform.
How can we explain the lack of traffic in platforms like Steepshot, Appics. How can we explain the death of zappl?
Posted using Partiko Android
zapple should be back...... it got a facelift and was waiting to get approved by google playstore and the ios one.
Yes for sure it is one of the good things. But don't you feel that people that do longer format type of content look down to people that do microblogging and look at their business from a more lifestyle type of approach.
The the old fart thing I said on the video was not an age reference but a reference to people that have been on steemit since the beginning eheheh
Posted using Partiko Android
Eheheh no... When I called out old farts was not a age related thing... It was a reference to when you have joined the community. 😉 I am younger than you and I am an old fart in here lolol and I am jealous of your white hair by the way. Eheheh
I do think all the types of content are important and I try to support as many projects I can. But when it comes to grow the number of people we have here we would have way better results if we focus a little bit more in supporting some of the microblogging platforms we have here and some of their creators.
Also creating this type of posts are not as easy as people thing. They still take a lot of time and are very energy consuming. Because it means I have to be online more often and working on getting them content out there... Everyday... Many times a day.
Posted using Partiko Android
Yeah this is not directed to anyone is specific... Just in general for the people that have been here for a long time and are on the top. I understand and respect your opinion and Your taste. We just consume different kind of content and the reason I have decided to do this call out and bring this to the conversation it is because nowadays all over the Internet microblogging is way more popular and get bigger audiences than extensive type of blog posts. I feel that as a community no matter if we like or not that type of content people like You that are big members in the community, that have a bigger influence and power should be support a little bit more that type of projects and content creators if we want to keep growing the traffic and the number of people that come and join us. Because right now there are already a lot of great dapp on the Steem network that allow that to work but still the dapps that better results and more users are steemit interfaces like busy, esteem, Partiko, Steempeak, ulog and so on. I obviously have nothing against that type of content and I think it is very important. But I am looking at the bigger picture and thinking about the evolution and where we could go with it. ❤️ This was not a personal attack at no one. Just a stream of conscious eheheh

Great message!
I always do what I want on Steem(it).... short or long fiction, poems, childrens books, funny or serious anything. I don't have a billion followers and it's okay because the ones I have know me and know they can come to my blog and find anything.
This is not for everyone but in the end, I make posts for me and hope people like them. I only have myself and my life to write about...... and I believe if following what makes you happy that day.
Everyone should be able to do what they want and not get crap for it......
I know what I like and what I don't so watch , look or read what I like. THAT IS the best thing about Steem..... there is always something here that fits your mood for that day.
Never let others tell you, you are wrong if it's something you believe in
Loving this. Sending you big big love. ❤️
Thanks. ❤️ Yeah I feel that is one of the good things we have going on for us in here. But the reason for. Me to bring this conversation is that if we think about what's going on nowadays I can't name one mainstream platform that is huge and that have daily traffic like crazy that is producing long format type blogs...can You?
On the other side we have Instagram, twitter, reddit, Facebook, Snapchat, tiktok that have huge traffic and engagement.
But I obviously have nothing against the longer format and I think it is important as well...

very true about evolution, it is important that we consider this more wisely when using steemit.
We need to go with the times if we really want to see a shift here in the community.
Posted using Partiko Android
I'd like to see a mix of microblogging and long form content, the frontends need to change to allow this.
But at this point we already have a lot of amazing dapps that offer good choices to microblogging the problem is that they don't have enough daily users and a strong community that support each other because the majority of people don't have a lot of Steem power that allow to make a difference. So I am afraid that this dapps might die.

@sergiomendes, Yes, it's really important and it's not like that you have to leave your niche but we can be more creative and can come up with content which can suit to particular Dapps and after all Evolution is really important and we should not leave our niche but we can bring new way of expressing it. Stay blessed. 🙂
Exactly. We need to be humble enough to see where, how and who we can help to make this shift happen if we really want more people to come and join us here on the Steem network.

Let's hope for the best. 🙂
Not just hope. Let's work to make it happen. 😉
Posted using Partiko Android
On individual level we can make it happen but when it comes to mass numbers, then we can hope, so let's "Hope & Make". Have a blessed time ahead brother. 🙂😀👍
