RE: 'This Platform Returns Value To Those Who Create Value' - That Was The Original Idea Of Steem According To Ned Scott (Amsterdam 2016) || Are We Still Following The Same Vision?

in #steemit7 years ago

I do agree that those who create value, will only help to make the whole platform better. That said, it's really tough for minnows to get noticed in the sea of content - not unlike every other platform. Building my insta audience was hard work, building my twitter audience was hard work. No reason why this shouldn't be hard work too. At some point I have to hope people like my photography enough to comment and updoot my stuff. Hopefully my contribution is putting a smile on someone's face with a good pic....

Beginnings are always tough. That's not the problem. The problem is that regardless you keep going, you'll never get to the top. Unless you invest at least 100K US Dollars in Steem, are a crypto expert and start blogging about it and close some voting agreements with other investors. Those who can't afford it, will always remain outside the big party. I'm not complaining, I've made a lot of money here since I joined Steemit very early. But now I see that the big majority of newer users will never ever come so far for the reasons I just mentioned. It's as if you wanted to become a millionaire opening a new YouTube account in 2018. The market is saturaded and closed.

I still see opportunity here. But yeah - the big party is likely closed.
