Nice to see you discovered this discussion, @xr-hammergaming. An alert system would definitely be great :)
I'm not going to add much more to this, we've said it already, but one sentence sums it up pretty nicely: "everything gets lost in the sea of other posts." That is discouraging, especially when we don't have that much time to do stuff here. Steemit has plenty of great creators, but spam accounts are rising at an alarming rate and flooding good content.
I do love a good discussion :)
Very discouraging. I know my posts aren't exactly blogs, they're videos, I do write up a post on occasion but recording and editing my videos take just as long if not longer to create. I do spend alot of time on here joining in on discussions and commenting on others posts because I believe in the platform. So much so that I spend far more time on here now than I do on Youtube.
I get the same old spammy posts on here that I also get on Youtube and I know the spammers won't get very far on this platform In the long run anyway, but in the meantime, they're taking away space from the hard working creators that actually deserve It.
I will plough on, I'm here for the long haul 😃👊
It could also be nice if I could see when someone replies to a reply in my post! I remember you from vidme. I think your content is very nice, but it's category is more of a "family suitable". I think that is one reason why you haven't found too many people. I have also found that if you don't get too big upvotes for your comment's, it can get bit exhausting. It is kind of funny even if you truly believed in the content.
What I have decided right now is that we all should go out and upvote curators. If we happen to stumble upon a nice content, we should upvote those meaningfull comment's with atleast descent power.
Yeah, I bought plenty of steem, but now since I have seriously started to upvote curators, I have noticed that my upvote isn't too much if I try to preserve any voting-power for next day.
Yes It would be great If Steemit had a notifications system so we can interact with each other better on this platform.
Ahh Vidme, seems like ages ago now. I agree, I am a PG friendly channel so I suppose I cater to a certain audience. My 9yr old son plays with me on my channel and he enjoys watching my videos which is why I decided to do that. I do enjoy watching channels that aren't PG though.
Thats Is a great Idea, I've never really thought to give comments a bigger upvote, my votes are barely worth anything, my full vote is worth $0.07 so I try to keep my steem power higher so that when I do vote at least the user is getting something rather than nothing from my upvote. If I drain my power too much then I essentially give them nothing from my vote.
