Every morning, I used to open my lappy and check something new in steemit,
I go to my feed, on trending, new, hot and promoted section but sadly nothing caught my attention.
And since nothing get me, I will react none.
Issue
- I saw an issue about less steem volume in the market - meaning, steem was not used in daily exchange. something not right. Steem should be used widely for people but it's not, maybe because steem was not used. If witness wanted steem bring to the moon, I think steem should be used daily. But all this thing should be changed upon the arrival of SMT, hope that everything will change drastically.
The bidbots
-lots of issue about bidbots wil bring down the steemit. IMO if the system allows the existence of the bidbots, then the system allows this issue exist. If you think bidbots will bring down the steemit, I think it won't, why because there were active community. This people who used bidbots mostly don't engage.
Steem/SBD Price
-Is it time to buy more?
- definitely YES! now is the time to buy and hold. Why, because the price of steem/sbd is very low. We must remember back in early February that the price were down to and rise up to $5-$6
Endurance
We are facing the lean times of steemit earnings, Our endurance to keep on steeming will be tested. Again, keep steeming even earning less
Have a great day everyone

I agree, this is the perfect time to buy more steem.but it might take a long time to get back on $7 again. Maybe Q4 of this year before the year ends.
in a long term view, it is good to buy while its dip. But Q4 might be to far before steem will reach to $7, probably june july IMO
I too noticed that the quality posts have dropped tremendously and so do the people that used to post. I think even some witness have already left. Something should be done to keep this going.
as I have notived, lots of steemians stops steeming,
so too few catch our interest
Ok, two points. First the quality of content, something which I've discussed at length with a number of people here now. This will either make or break SteemIt. This is supposed to be a content site, not some silly FB replacement, so if SteemIt is to continue, it will need to attract big players on other sites, curate its own good, native content (which IS here, it's just buried beneath a lot of shit), or help to develop noob creators into excellet creators. Curie and other projects are helping, but more work needs to be done. Again, good content (or a lack of it) will make or break this site. People will either come here to learn/have an experience/or be entertained or they won't. If they don't SteemIt is done and the currency will just trade as a speculative turd on the exchanges until it fizzles out like so many alts before it.
Second. I think the bots are the enemy. As @albertvhons alluded to, people who are using bots are not engaging, they are not on other peoples posts, reading them, providing valuable feedback and trying to grow the community and find people who may be interested in their content. If you can pay a few cents to a computer to try and drum up traffic instead of actually doing some hard work, then most people will go the easy route. The bots are a threat. I'm still quite new to the platform, so I can't speak at technical length on this but the intention/mechanism the bots provide seems pretty clear and it is/will remove the needed quality interaction that should be taking place in this environment.
We need more curating projects, we need more methods to weed out the bullshit that is floating to the top because of bot activity. If these things don't happen people who are spending shitloads of time to create quality content (I'd like to think I'm one of them) will simply go elsewhere. Just my two cents.
I like the point you are trying to tell the whole steemiverse, though there should always be a nesting period for the topics and pieces each steemian should have in their stay here so posting a quality content would not be very necessary at all if one is in the stage of finding their niche. Steemit is a fair battleground for everyone to post their stuff. As time pass by, all of us will be able to realize what should be and not be posted here according to the experiences that we have and the topics which has flopped or a perfect triumph. Nobody should judge a content telling it a quality piece or the other way around since a person trying to post something finds their content quality for them. That makes steemit a full democratized community.
I think I understand your point and I agree with it in theory. Of course any new person trying out their "voice" for the first time, be it with video content, audio content, photos, etc should certainly be encouraged to experiment, take risks, and explore. I don't view this type of content as poor quality at all...people starting out are a critical component to creating new talent, new ideas, and pushing the entire platform forward. I encourage those contributors all day long. As long as they are trying, improving and the effort is clear.
Where I see the problem is with people who have questionable profiles and/or are posting content which CLEARLY took very little effort ( a blurry picture or two, some poorly formatted text that is only a couple lines long and says nothing at all) and is being pushed hard as hell by multiple bots they've signed up for. And especially if they keep doing the same thing over and over again and there isn't a clear improvement with their content (IE: they are simply trying to game the system to have the bots generate steem for them).
There is a difference between content (something the creator made with the intention to inform/enlighten/entertain/etc ) and spam content (content that is voting primarily by bots, by a person who doesn't engage the community, and that isn't providing any clear value other than the value it generates by gaining bot votes).
there is a problem with steemit,
one is perception, usually the steemians think that if they create a quality long post, they will get huge rewards. And this is the problem. Thinking of having huge rewards. first, lets determined what rewards and who gives the rewards?
Expectation vs Reality, we always fail to this idea. mostly new steemians fail this and anticipate in wrong direction.
STeemit is not just about blogging (posting long quality post) {quality post in the eye of the readers, not the author}
-steemit evolve fast, were there is a tweeter version,[ZAP] is one of it, where you can't put post long story on it. you only have 250 character, and its post will apper in steemit since zap used steem blockchain
-dmania, is another steem blockchain, were it is based on a 9gag version, a humorous photo were in your point of view it is not quality, but not to the dmania user, again it appears in steem blockchain , steemit
Yep, some good points here.
Even being new, it seems pretty clear Steemit is evolving in many different directions...you brought up ZAP...I've never even heard of it, need to investigate! This evolution is good because hopefully it will help to better organize content, set clear expectations in the different content areas and help people to find, file and aggregate what they consider to be good content.
Agreed regarding perception. Just because you build it, doesn't mean they will come. Just because you built it very well (in the creator's opinion) doesn't mean they will come. And, sadly, just because you built it well (theoretically in the minds of a large group of people) doesn't even mean they will come to view it ---> this is a problem because some really good stuff goes unnoticed!
On a personal note, I'm still playing around with the fiction I write here. For starters, I have no idea who and how many people on this platform have any interest in reading fiction (short stories), let alone the sort of fiction I tend to write (humorous, satire, quirky, dark, etc). And of those people, I have no idea what sort of time they are willing to spend reading my stories (should I write very brief flash fiction, medium lengths short stories, etc). Holy shit, what if this is just not the sort of platform fiction readers come to or will ever come to??? I just don't know. So, without knowing, I'm experimenting. Putting out different kinds of stories of varying lengths, testing different subject matters, try to figure out what sticks, what gets some views. Early days, everything seems experimental, but fun! We'll see. The main thing is creating content for your potential viewers not content necessarily for self-indulgence. I love writing novels, but this is not the appropriate place for them :)
Long posts I guess is not really the market for your stories here on steemit. Most people here are fond of satisfying their visual appetite. Though you may try to make a short intro here then just give the link to show the whole stuff. or.... you may try to post 3 posts in one chapter to make it more exciting. Creating a some kind of suspense for all readers wanting to have more from from you. I am still finding my niche so I mostly try to post diversified topics but mostly on how to keep myself from being consistent here on steemit as well. Sir @albertvhons is my mentor here and his way of motivation is kinda different. In which I really love!
my mentor again on my feed this morning! last night as well though I exceeded my bandwidth so its only at this time I can be active again. Yes I agree, steem should really be used widely. Bidbots, upvotes, and SBD/Steem delegation should be circulating among the members. Though at this point we also need to put something here on steemit out from our pockets. It is also a great way to invest and let OUR FELLOW steemians know we value this environment very much. Hehehe thank you for posting. I thought this post is something like... When you don't find it... I create it! Enjoy the rest of the week.
