Great post AND interview! Interesting to see Pakman already getting a lot of insight from those who have a deep understanding of Steemit.
You mentioned people flipping out over opinions and such in this post. What significant risk(if any) do you see in Steemians posting things likely to spark some moderate to high disagreement(politics/philosophy, maybe even reviews of movies, etc.?)
I ask because it seems to me that posts like this that are focused on informing us of how to be effective and successful on here aren't likely to get much pushback. If there's a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 being completely different from average reactions on YouTube and other similarly toxicity-filled sites and 100 being exactly as rough as those sites, how would you rate Steemit in terms of potential for getting people to really want to go after you? One reason I never made any such content regarding my views on topics that might be polarizing is not only the spamming/asshole comments, but also the ridiculous tactics like mass flagging and doxxing. Any advice/feedback on that? I don't even know that I'm considering doing such things, but I'm still very curious as to how it plays out here versus other sites.
Thanks for the post. Glad to find someone like this to follow so early on, and I definitely am taking interest in OpenMIC!
