You make such an excellent point. I've been thinking so much about what an influx of traffic would mean for Steemit as I've been working out my distribution strategy. Certainly as more influencers / "big names" come here and spread the message of Steemit with their individual audiences, advertisers will begin to take note.
Would that be, in your opinion, the primary way to scale Steemit and the service it offers (we pay you for your content)? I imagine the fact that new accounts will have to work harder to grow will help the economy of Steemit, but what about the fact that giant accounts will be raking in more $ than ever before?
Thank you @prettydecent.
Yes. We think the angle of "get paid for your content" is the one and only major notable distinction between Steem and typical social media for the average user.
Again, Yes. Early adopters are rewarded.... late adopters will have to "work harder"/"pay more".
Those giant accounts invested tremendous wealth(or time) to bring Steem to where it is now. Just as we will benefit from the coming waves of newcomers, so too will those that were here before us.
More then anything, the founders will gain the most benefit. As they should, for they turned an idea and a series of mathematical equations into.... a billion dollar+ exosphere that we all now get to play in and benefit from.
This platform has serious potential for a literal world basic income for creatives (we are so grateful for this). @steembasicincome, @qurator, @earthnation-bot are several services proving conceptual versions of this idea.
