Nice explanation of copyrights @elamental.
And a good start on the different types of posts here on Steemit.
- Let me start by saying Steemit is great and I am very bullish on it.
- But Steemit is also very lacking on fairly rewarding effort.
- As SMTs become available, I think that will make things more fair. Not just having SMTs available, but enterprising individuals and groups who creatively setup specialty types of sites using SMTs.
- But Steemit is also very lacking on fairly rewarding effort.
- As it is right now, Steemit is very frustrating to those who try to provide quality content, referred to in this post as "publishing articles."
- I think once Steemit splits into different apps with different reward systems (their own SMT), it will become much more fair.
- For instance, for those into photography, they can have their own site. And the rewards will not be competing here on Steemit with those who publish articles.

- I look for much competition for eyeballs.
- Currently Facebook and Google are the top web sites of the Internet. Mainly by accomplishing the 2 things I saw the Internet doing back in '95 when I discovered the www: 1) Connect people to people and 2) Connect people to information.
- So I look for a direct facebook competitor to be started using SMTs, where it's more about sharing other people's works (and I do think it possible to make sourcing the original author an integral part of the platform) and sharing our boring details of our own life. (connecting people to people)
- I also look for some type of crowd sourced directory to replace Google as the goto site to find information. (connecting people to information)
Parley is actually a very good start to this, if they continue on and form it into a directory. It is much too temporary at this point, and needs to expand into something like dmoz, if you remember that. Or the original yahoo directory. - I also look for someone to develop a wiki based on SMTs to be in direct competition with and to overcome Wikipedia. (again connecting people to information)

One vast improvement to the platform and any sub-platform that is yet to be developed would be to have long term type payouts. Maybe a quick payout of 7 days, but then some way to collect rewards maybe forever. Your work ethic will increase when long term rewards are available for quality content well past the 7 days allowed here on Steemit. People will have a greater incentive to create great articles rather than just posts...
@ned has suggested he expects 100,000 new SMTs within a short time of them being released. That should provide for some great competition and a win-win for both content producers and content consumers.
Great points, & very well established statements. I will say that splitting up the types of content would be less advantageous to someone like me who includes original photography AND original writing in a lot of my posts. I like mixing it all together. I am in favor of a better rewards system that favors higher quality content though.
I would hope that someone would develop a front end which allows people to choose which apps they want to see the content from so our own blogs will include our diversity of interests. Steemit currently displays the content from all of the apps which have developed. However, Steemit is not a good interface.
All your stuff is original duder. Your one of the most original m fers on Steemit. Nothing but original realness all day long from you! Im waiting for you to start doing your dlive shows you dont even know about yet😮!
ha, right on. I might set that up at the record release party. Thank you for your kind words.
It's just a simple observation! You're this ball of talent yet to fully assume his position at the top!
Wow.
Same here. That's all I can say, too. @dynamicgreentk 😁 😂 This is what I was talking about last night with you.
But hey @wizardave, I'm literally speechless on all the info you've shared with us. Very informative and well-explained. I support your idea on long-term incentive for those who create a nicely well-written article. I'm following you now as im looking forward to reading more of your works. 🤗😁
That was a full on quality comment if id ever seen one!
