Great post and I fully agree. Blog if you want to blog...
What I would say is the numbers are important for the growth of Steemit. Let me share with you something I learned from a different platform.
I was working on a platform in 2013 and was a early adaptor, but I didn't really like what the platform owners were allowing to happen when it came to the quality of members. So I stopped working on the platform, but very much kept an eye on what was going on.
What I didn't realize was that this platform needed the numbers for social proof, and once they had that they could raise the bar on quality. When they had 10 million members everything changed. They could now be picky on quality over quantity.
You see with this sort of social proof 'hay we have 10 million members' is much easier to entice quality content creators that 'hay look at us we have 250K members'
The platform I was working on understood this, at the time I did not....
Now looking back, although the platform was flooded with 'crap', it was the good quality early adapters that came out on top......i am disappointed that I missed out. I did hop back in around 2015 and I am doing very well, but had I of stuck with it, I would be doing even better.
Steemit wants to grow, but are content creators interested in a platform of 250K people...lets face it, if they have monatized their content else where then a platform with 250K people is not that attractive propitiation. however when you tell them they can reach 2 maybe 3 million people with their content on steemit, then it will be attractive
So for the moment we need to put up with the 'crap' and do our best to produce good if not fantastic content, the crap will be weeded out in time, and we my dear @patelincho will rise to the top
That is an amazing view of the topic and it actually makes sense. Once the platform starts rolling out numbers the quality becomes better.
Thank you for sharing your insight and previous experience. For the people on steemit for the long haul, this will be quite advantageous.
