My experience so far with STEEM

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Since January 2018 I am a member of this community. At first I was really excited about D.tube and could not wait to get a new account.

I created an account and had to wait. It took a whole week for Steem to accept my new account. Usually when you register on a new web page it takes just a few minutes. I really don't know why Steem is doing this? Against multiple registration - thats why you need a phone number. To check every new account by hand? What's the benefit ?

The second draw back was D.tube. Most videos are really fast down and not watchable even just a few days after upload. That's a big issue! Not everyone is able to host his own videos. D.tube is trying to work on this problem. But my experience for now is that even in the first 5 days some videos are not reachable:(

An other thing that caught my attention are voting bots like @buildawhale. They are a great way to promote your own articles, If they are used right. But often I see some random and not even thoughtful articles or videos on trading or hot that are only there because of voting bots. It may be a problem that voting bots are too cheap. When a vote is bought the reward is more than the cost. So you gain money by buying votes? Seems not right to me....

I keep my hopes high. Steem could be the future to social media and I want to be a part of it. Do you agree? Whats your experience, hopes and problems?

Aren't you using a curation trail bot to follow @upmewhale, @booster and others to upvote posts they upvote so as to get tiny curation payouts? It looks like an interesting strategy. I also notice that you keep powering down? Why are you doing that? Wouldn't it be better to grow your SP so your curation strategy would earn even more?

So which curation trail bot are you using?
