I agree that curation needs to step up, especially towards new users. I would love to see a new user tab, instead of trending tbh.
New users should be spending their time reading, commenting, and interacting with others instead of pumping out articles and buying votes. It defeats the purpose of learning good behavior on Steemit.
I used to buy upvotes a lot, and I'm lucky that I didn't get punished for using them. However, I feel like if I did- maybe my writing would have improved earlier on.
For me it's most important to learn first, instead of running around trying to make some quick money. Steemit curation has quite a ways to go, and habits need to be instilled earlier on.
You are so right shello! Comments are the key to this platform. Maybe 80% comments and 20% blog posts. That is what creates real connections with other humans. Many are trying to run around make some quick money or be ungrateful already after 1 month. We humans always crave more speed while we would be much better off to slow things down and really take our time to produce real value to others!
Well said. Impatience shall be the end of us. More time should be used on comments especially starting out. IMO, if the site is being used as intended, there shouldn't really be any "bandwidth issues."
