On the one hand I agree with you that at the current state there are a lot of Bitcoin and crypto related posts but well, most people come through the crypto space here, still I also think it would be good to see more different content.
On the other hand I think in the end it is not even a problem that there are posts about it, but it needs advertisment or something to get more people from other fields into Steemit. If more people come who writes about different stuff the less you will see just bitcoin and crypto related articles.
The most annoying thing for me is that there are a lot of people who just take a picture or video out of the web and post it, without any further explanations. Beside that often it is a breach to the copyright, it is also boring most times. Still a lot of people get a lot of votes for it :/ This shows a bit in which direction the net community is going these days.
I agree. I think the copy/paste video posting is irritating me the most. I agree that a good video contains very useful information, but at least have the decency to write an intro or a review or anything else that personalizes it a bit, and to credit the source.
But in spite of the fact that it irritates me, a lot of those posts make good money. And it takes about 5 minutes to post them. So from the earning perspective they’re simply smarter than me, because I’m spending hours trying to get out one article a day, and they can chunk out 5 to 10 daily without all the work and frustration that comes with trying to write an original article...
Yes, I know how you feel and I think that is a major problem here on Steem. While original content get not much attantion people who copy paste just stuff from the web get a lot of money. But who should we blame for this? The one who is doing this or the community who is supporting this?
That’s why I try to make people aware by adding a banner zt yhe bottom of my post, asking the to upvote only unique an original content. If evernody starts doing that, those crappy post will eventually be ignored and will disappear. As long as they’re making money, it would be stupid of them to stop doing it, right.
For now it’s just the banner, but I’m still figuring out a real campaign to get the message out to everybody
