RE: HOWTO Get Attention on STEEMIT without PISSING PEOPLE OFF! 😱

in #steemit7 years ago

Thanks for the counsel and encouragement on here. Fascinating to hear that you noticed the tipping point after 250 followers. I'm close to that number, but not quite there ;)

I'm with you. I've never begged for follows. I just aim to put up quality content several times per week. I try to post the kind of content I think I'd find interesting myself.

Concerning the flag wars, I confess, though I haven't been involved in one, that I did a post recently about censorship on here. Haven't quite figured that one out yet. Seems like this should be a platform where speech could be freely shared, but it doesn't quite seem like that with how some whales can effectively censor your content with a downvote.

Thanks again.

thank you for your comment @leadinsights, and glad you found the post helpful. yeah, that's really the thing. even though the content remains on the blockchain, it can get hidden from the front-end if you do happen to cross the wrong whale. of course, while far from perfect, so far the experience is still way better than all the censoring, shadow-banning, and demonetizing that goes on with youtube, facebook, and twitter.

Yeah, that's the fascinating part to me. But, you're right. For sure better than the other options.
