RE: Some Youtubers who are failing at Steemin - Do they know why?

in #steem7 years ago

Oh Stephie... they are just windows that look into steem, they are not websites in the normal sense.

Imagine that Steem, the blockchain, the currency is a Dog someone owns.

The dog is trained, it obeys commands, but you have to know the commands.

Now Imagine that Busy is you talking to the dog using a megaphone.

Imagine that Steemit is you talking to the dog using a microphone and a speaker.

They both have advantages and disadvantages, but both methods are talking to the stray dog.

My analogy is weird... Sorry.. but i think it will help you see it.

Well... All that may be true, but how am I supposed to respond? I'm not a computer person, I'm a content creator. Ultimately, the Steem blockchain is for content creators, and without content creators Steem has no value.

It would be nice to hear some analytical feedback on this subject. I put in a lot of work here even though I earn very little, but sometimes I feel like Steemit is going nowhere, so the question is, do I stick it out here or start over again on Busy?

I read an article recently by someone on Steemit's staff who was supposed to be like a liaison with the creative community or something, and basically he was just like, Steemit is awesome, but then when someone voiced some concerns in the comments, he was just like, I'm blocking you forever. I found it very childish and unhelpful. What are we supposed to do when there is a problem?

Many people share your frustrations. Steem has great potential, it can be a great source of income for people in the future. But we are very early adopters and the waters are uncharted.

The best advice I can give anyone who is struggling to gain momentum, is to join a community.

Most welcome sir.@gentlebot..
