I have a habit to sort the various tags in steemit in descending order of their payouts and an observation always upsets me.
I have noticed that tags of other countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Korea, China etc. have a very high payout total as compared to India. The number of posts too is very less in India.
So we can host a contest to identify 5 best introduction posts of our fellow Indians. At the end of the contest firepower can feature some 20 best introduction posts in his post and the one hunting down these posts will get 1 SBD for each featured introduction post.
This way both the finder and the introducing Indian will get a small boost. Monetary encouragement is always the best encouragement. What say ?
I am sure we have huge user base in India and @firepower is doing a great job promoting steemit in various parts of India. Another way of promoting is by having good payouts. I'm also sure that we Indians are contributing great quality articles to the platform. Why not unite Indians together ?
Here is a snapshot of payouts for the tags. India tag has the lowest of the payouts.
I disagree. Yes, there are many users. But not a huge user base compared to its potential.
Also I want to point out that steemit is full of noise. This seems to be a negative statement. But that is true. As I said before the value of STEEM ultimately is tied to the content quality which users from steemit produces (in my understanding). Can everyone produce quality content? Maybe not. There should be an effective mechanism by which plagiarism and noise etc should be controlled.
