these upvotes by bots or by whales may allow some to say that upvotes do not accurately measure the value a blogger brings to Steem.
I can't agree more !!! UPvotes can't determine a person's worth here.
The purpose of this post was to propose the question of whether or not it is possible to determine using math how much expected value a blogger can bring.
Well a person with already many followers on another social platform proves that he/she can bring them to steem !!! The other way is to look at their content. It doesn't matter how much effort or time they put it, what matters is that IF THEIR CONTENT IS WORTH ATTRACTING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE STEEM!! If the content is helping others in ANY WAY, the people will automatically get attracted and come to their blog !!
People who have backgrouns in math should feel free to comment.
I don't have a good math background but still I think my point is pretty logical here. We CAN make steemit a platform of amazing hidden talent, knowledge and wisdom ONLY IF WE SUPPORT THOSE BLOGGERS WHO POST ABOUT IT. Not people who put shit posts !!!
bloggers could learn which topics, activities, are adding the most value to the Steem platform, and can adjust in a way so as to add more value and earn greater rewards.
I believe ANY CONTENT that is helping someone somehow will add value to steemit. And that should become the purpose of steemit, that's how it can grow like a revolution and attract more people. People need to rely on steemit NOT JUST TO EARN but also to find relevant information and reading content.
Himshweta,
You said, "what matters is that IF THEIR CONTENT IS WORTH ATTRACTING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE STEEM!!"
This is the crux of the matter. I am new to Steemit, yet I have already started posting my twitter posts @iamwesley clark, on steemit, and then reposting to twitter, to attrack my followers and others to steemit.
My next step is incorporating my instagram posts (@iamwesleyclark) and have a link at the bottom of each post pointing to my steemit account.
I was fortunate enough to read via a google search about steemit and recently became part of the community. The more I get involved the more I see the potential and basically I really like what I see.
So, my role will be that of evangelist of steemit, and do my part to make those around me and in my other accounts aware of steemit. I have even started to post to my linkedin account as well.
Anyway, bottom line, I agree with you.
