Why is steemfest essentially a bunch of ads?
Haha. That cracked me up. 😂
Do you know what any CEO that has a head to think with would do if they were faced with the STEEM/STEEMIT dilemma and the confusion it creates.
THEYD CHANGE THE FUCKING NAME OF THE COMPANY.
They would rebrand.
Its not like "Steemit" has any kind of global brand value so Steemit.inc wants to preserve it. But it creates so much confusion on the other hand.
Pointless really even talking about it. Who can you convince of anything? Andy? Talking to Andy is like talking to a forum mod thats half human and half robot. I bet he passes captcha less then 50% of the time. lol
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Sure. But branding is important and Steemit.inc has to deal with that. Look what typerium is doing. Who the hell knows what Typerium even is? Ive read the whitepaper and all i have is a broad idea.
But theyre making it flashy, important, revolutionary, uuuuuu.
Personal responsibility is needed, ofc, but when talking about recognition and outward reach, its Steemit.inc that has to do something.
Change your damn name Stinc!
Well I was talking to everyone here and have been pretty open with my criticism of how Steemit Inc. presents itself, as it is the “face of Steem”... but I don’t see how Steemit Inc. changing its name will stop confusion Steem. You say Steem and they think “Steemit”... changing the second doesn’t fix the core of the problem. Steem has no brand.. and never has, so it’s solely dependent on Steemits branding (or lack there of).
Many have spoken about rebrand and I may actually support that idea, but it would be expensive and labor intensive and who is going to do it?
So yes while I feel that Steemit Inc. is dropping the ball in this regard as a major stake holder, what about the other stake holders? What about the users? The projects that are benefiting?
Personal responsibility pretty much just states we all need to do our part. We need to stop depending on Steemit Inc. to do everything, we should have learned by now.
It does. Its Steemit. lol. When you say Steem, they think Steemit.
"Oh Its that blogging thing".
The fact of the matter is that they fucked up with the name. Its simple as that. The only thing to do now is to change it. Eliminate "Steemit" from the equation or its an uphill battle of trying to explain to everyone that comes here what the difference is between Steem and Steemit.
Ive seen people that been here more then 6 months not know the difference and confuse the two.
Yep.. sort of what I said 😛 but I think Steemit can stay Steemit.. maybe we need to change Steem 😉
And honestly.. I get it’s confusing.. but our users need to take a bit of personal responsibility too 🤷♀️
Its not about our users. They should have learned by now but even that shows you the gravity of the confusion.
But you cant expect the outside world to understand the difference. The message needs to be easy to understand and easy to spread.
When you have to explain stuff right off the bat and its confusing to people you lose then.
Maybe we need to change Steem. Maybe. But i know for a fact that the Steem/steemit dillema is screwing up the outward reach.
“Ive seen people that been here more then 6 months not know the difference and confuse the two.”
Jap, I was too one of those people, but I can tell you why.
If you look on my blog you will see, I’m just an artist (photo, video) who know bitcoin and some other cripto :) So in a way...just a “average Joe”
I joined steemit, because I could make some extra $ and that was it..
“I will get some dollars for something that I do for free...”
And for me as a creator/artist was this all I needed to know.
It was just mindblowing... because facebook, instagram and other soc.med platforms will give you 0...
so I just started post some good content and I was happy as a mf :)
I was so happy when I made my first 1$... oh
Now, when I look back... “ignorance is bliss”
Back then, my focus was only making uniq content every day or every second day.... that was it.
...and this is what I’m gone do🤘
