Thanks for reply.
I think for every "performer/actor/writer" there should be 100 or 1000 viewers. For that to work the "audience" need a reason to hang around, and telling them "get on stage" is not going to work.
Not everyone is a 'performer' some are consumers, and they need to be welcomed / embraced / encouraged as just that. they are perhaps more important than 'actors'. else it is just a crowd of a 1000 shouting over each other, & never heard.
if audience is not here it means the authors will produce less (due to less viewers) and the spiral is downwards IMHO
I think that in various communities on Steemit that is happening already (like with the "homesteader" community). I think the hardest to deal with are the folks that Upvote or comment on something that obviously wasn't read. My hope is that over time, we can weed out the people that are just in it to make coin. We will see!
Actually I think the 'weeding' is already happening......they come..they see...they leave
@yoginiofoz I was thinking about your comment last night re "weeding out".
While I agree that would be a good idea, it is 100% opposite to the "marketing" for steem.
it's the $$ that drag people in here. Then we "weed out"..... I'm not sure how that works.
Seems complicated and self defeating in some way to me.
I appreciate your perspective @fred777bear. The weeding out that I was talking about was just the people that flit from one concept, idea, or sales gimmick to the next. There is so much to distract these days, and it does not lend itself to anything real or concrete if we cannot spend time researching and pondering life's many questions.
I have been searching and will continue to search until my last breath (and hopefully beyond, God willing) for the answers to life's riddles.
I just notice that we are losing the ability to see and grasp the subtleties of life, which is so rich and diverse. Nature loses when we forget to go outside and just be.
You are correct. And as I mentioned I'm not sure if steem is a get rich quick concept or they plan for a long term thing.
so far they are saying the later, but pursuing actions that indicate the former IMHO.
