Thx for the reply.
which one ?
The one where I quoted you. Did you click the link I provided?
but the quality of what I've seen here so far is generally high over a wide range of subjects
I'd like to hear your comparison to Medium if you feel up for it.
I've never used Medium - I do have a WordPress blog that gets a lot of traffic mainly because I posted some fake porn pages, but it doesn't make any money - http://www.frot.co.nz/design/blog/ - now I plan to post both here on on my existing blog.
Thx for confirming. So if you gush about Steem with its 6400 active users (bloggers and readers/commenters), why would not also consider Medium with its 25 million readers and 20,000 active weekly bloggers?
As a blogger, isn't your goal to reach the most readers. Or do you want to write for a microscopic circle-jerk just because you can earn wow $10 per day.
I agree that we (Western nerds) want to support a platform that stores content on a blockchain which no one can control, but did you know that a few guys control the Steem blockchain? Details matter. And the masses probably don't care about this aspect.
P.S. I wish you good luck and I actually support similars ideals as you want. But I want to be clever about attaining them.
Now I've had a look at Medium, I have a totally negative opinion of it and won't be going back....
Self righteous PC numpties having a martyr self support meeting.
I think Steemit has a potential to change the internet and thereby change the world, because of the way it is set up. Steemit has only been online since March. And if I can earn some money doing it that would be great too.
Interesting. Thanks again for the feedback.
I've read a few important technical blogs on Medium over the past year. So I don't see it as only a politically correct haven.
But what is most revealing to me about your reply, is that exactly as I expected, the Steemians are trying to force their world view onto the world. Sorry that won't scale.
I believe that if we want to change the world, we have to engage with the world. Snobbery and a circlejerk groupthink won't get us there.
Unless you are really good at exploiting the Steememes, $10 per day for an exhausting amount of daily blogging won't change your life (nor the world's).
