RE: Explainer: Value Flows on Steem with SMTs [VIDEO]

in #steem8 years ago

Thanks for explaining further. From what you've said, I would say that going forward, a lot more STEEM will be locked up and powered up way more than will be liquid. STEEM will have lots of holding value.

When you speak about the way in which people will be able to promote posts, you mention buying/renting Steem Power to get posts to the top.

When SMTs are adopted and really start getting used, to live up to the definition "Steem — The World's Advertising Network", won't we need a robust promotions platform for internal promotion on Steemit? Sort of like the Facebook Ads manager, but it's not ads but promoted posts that we pay to make visible. I am aware that we also don't want to ruin the reading experience and make it feel spammy. Will there be a way to get a post in front of people, in a defined target audience? Maybe a list of promoted posts below a post, related by tags and other targeting like geo-location? Or a way to promote a community when people are browsing through communities? Do you have plans for such a feature, on Steemit?
