Great post! Part of the fun is stumbling into terrible posts and then finding gems hidden way down in the 'new' feed.
I think we should remind each other that this is supposed to be fun. Yeah, we work hard to create content. Some of us are better at it than others. And yeah the rewards can be awesome and really crappy.
If everyone helps a little bit: a comment a day, at least 20 upvotes a day, etc. then this platform could blossom into something really amazing! But we also have to remember that it will take time. I'm seeing great ideas on how to improve the voting system and the developers are reading them and taking them into consideration. I think we already have all the tools we need to grow the middle class.
Indeed. Also love to stumble across a good post. It is just a bit frustrating no to have the power to assist that article with enough vote love :) I am in general a person that can't wait :) Hence writing the post. In my heart I know that we all need to wait, it will eventually happen. But that is just the way I am :) I think I am worse than my own kids that can't wait to go to the sea, or on holiday.
However, the threat is that should we have a massive event, in the media, and millions of people flog to the platform, the current ecosystem will struggle to handle millions of new users creating content. We will lose a lot of good content producers as a result, because, the few Whales, will not be able to identify all the good posts and we will loose those millions again. Just my opinion though... This platform changes all the time ...
Yes, Steemit is definitely not ready for a huge migration from other sites, but it is still in beta. I do hope that people realize this. Beta means the platform is in a testing stage. It means things will be re-built, re-worked, tried and changed. We (the ones who are here early) will definitely make a big impact on the future of Steemit just by sharing our ideas and suggestions.
It does feel a little like it's Christmas Eve and we just want the perfect place to share everything we have and get acknowledged/paid for it right away lol
