In contrast to facebook there are many more users on steem who produce their own content instead of just consuming it.
The goal should be that there should be more consumers / readers as you wrote above, that means in the end that the entry barriers have to be reduced in steem.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There is actually no entry barriers to read post on steem because all the articles are freely visible from the internet. You don't need a steem account to read articles on steemit. This is great! On the other hand the people who write articles want to be upvoted so they are only interested in steemusers to read the articles and to get potential upvotes.
I believe that the real problem is that steem users become regular and long term users only when they have a certain amount of steem power and in this respect you are totally right that the entry barriers are too high at the moment.
You are right everyone can read articles on steem. The point is that these people are worthless as long as they do not have an account to vote or comment.
Thus, an account light to vote, comment and even grow a bit could be a solution. The barriers for that sort of account could be reduced.
Later on a posibillity to upgrade with the usuall obstacles could be maintained.
Amazing convo you guys are having here ...
I love how responsive you are @sifondeseltz :)
Seriously, this platform needs more people like yourself.
cheers, Piotr
