RE: Japanese knife master crafter makes a knife out of aluminum foil that would put your commercial ones to shame

Every media platform on the Internet has paid promotion, and I'm lucky if I break even. Your post offers zero insight or value to the platform. If I wanted to just drop links, I can post 1000 times a day and not even break a sweat.

Sort:  

I am not saying my post has amazing value, I didn't ask for votes or pay for any.

My issue is with the flaws in STEEM where vote bots and whales seem to dominate. It's not a sustainable model.

I came to steem because I thought it was going to be a truly decentralised social media platform that rewards content creators.

But it's just a place for whales to make money. Which is why I am moving my investments elsewhere.

I will still post here as I like some of the people. But as an overall platform, it has a long way to go.

Who knows, if at the next fork something changes or the user base goes up, I might get my UK based crypto fund to make some major investments into STEEM

I am not saying my post has amazing value

Can say that for all your posts. I put more thought and time into my post of just "sharing videos" as you say than your last 5 posts.





Unfortunately you didn't do your research very well.

If you look at my first few posts, you will see that I did put quite a lot of effort in. But I then realised steemit doesn't actually reward good content. So I switched to shorter and simpler things I wanted to share.

Anyway, thanks for taking time to read my replies and answer my questions. It's appreciated.

It might be hard for you to believe, but I would love to see steemit succeed and replace Facebook! But as a user, the experience hasn't been great. As an investor, I always look at the user experience.

Yeah, because out of 800K accounts you would be found instantly.

Well, how many of those accounts are active? About 20K per day?

I didn't expect to be found instantly. But I just took a look around and I could see very large payouts going to certain people while other posts, which as a lowly minnow, I managed to find from other lowly minnows got little to no attention.

I am not saying these things just to have a rant. I am saying this because it is something that needs to be addressed if steemit supporters really want to see their network expand. I would love to see steemit do well.

I have no idea, but in the last 30 days 158,229 unique accounts voted and 121,588 unique people posted and/or commented.

These are up to date stats (I just queried the blockchain as I typed this).

That's very good data. I've not learnt how to query the blockchain yet.

158K/30 is about 5K people per day

What would be more interesting to know is amongst those unique users, what is the distribution of STEEM/STEEM Power. Is there some way to get that data?
