RE: How can Steem Continue to Succeed? - A Story by Charlie Shrem

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

ive been telling all my friends to get on steemit. a lot have but most don't know how to use the site and are all txting me to ask how to put pics up, get help etc.
I believe in advertising because i did a degree in advertising photography and understand how it works. but i feel there is a problem with steemit in that the whales have concentrated on upvoting steem promotion (cos advertising works) and lots of new users have hit the site but are not actively using it, i believe because they dont understand how to work it. so has that advertising power then been lost?. once someone decides to leave a site they very rarely come back. there are lots of users like myself who are trying to help people by posting help. unfortunately help pages and tutorials dont get voted up because the whales dont want new users to see the issues. so less people are prepared to help because they get less rewards. i really think the issue of user ease needs to be addressed

Sort:  

they are working on wikis already! Ned hires people that want to contribute further! Soon it will be easier to find help-content about steemit and it will be much easier to post photos etc very soon..

theyll return a year from now, log into their account and see that the ~$10 in SP has been growing while they've been away. Depending on what the price of Steem does, that could be worth enough to make the opportunity cost too great to simply ignore.

Steem doesnt reward idlers by design. If they do nothing they'll lose about 50% on their steem and gain approx 10% interest, so a loss of about 40% per annum. What may make them comeback and regret is seeing someone just being littlebit active and gain 1000s or 10000s of dollars. While they themself wasted thousands of hours on facebook and get nothing. They'll be back :)
