Introducing Metron Project - a Platform to Discover, Rate and Promote

in #open-source6 years ago (edited)

THE PROBLEM

Most of the exceptional quality content is not seen, promoted or rewarded and is lost in the ocean of posts published.

WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

We can see it happening everywhere, even outside STEEM ecosystem, millions of articles are published and is hard to find the best within a huge quantity of material in short time. Exceptional content is rare, unique, and the people who would appreciate it are simply unaware of it's existence. Search engine ranking takes time and Facebook promotion costs money, the 2 most popular ways to gain attention for online published content are de facto incompatible with the 7 day reward payout.

The people who could benefit from such content never see it and the author is not rewarded.

We are here to make easier for the Steem readers and Multimedia Audience to find the content they love and for the authors to receive the support they deserve.
