You're right, they'll have my back. I just assumed, since there are 60000 active members at any given moment, and this post is on trending, someone would see... but as what was highlighted in my post the other day, nobody looks at trending, and that means these people are marketing in front of a dead audience, so hey! Let's change that, and make some real money.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I no longer view trending as it is ALL shit.
People have been saying that for many months, so why not fix it in a way where everyone makes money?
I've said it since September 2017, I would never have joined if I had inspected the site prior to joining. Reality is the top of every social media site is shit, we are just reaching normal status with what we have trending. A simple fix would be to just get rid of trending and hot altogether.
It all comes down to who loses money with changes, those who can make the changes or those who want them. Seems the same people who have always made money here are still making money here. There just isn't easy bid-bot buys like many built their accounts with, now things are capped for buyers. It was not like that when I first arrived but many who took advantage at that point are now pro #nobidbot tagging their feeds.
The history is all in the blockchain.
My suggestion leads to everyone earning more. It's a proven business model. These folks seem to prefer to earn thousands over millions though. The history is all in the blockchain.
Indeed, but greed rules the hen house here.
They can't seem to see the whole picture with their greed blinders on.
I don't see greed. I see opportunity, trapped in a comfort zone. Entrepreneurs afraid to make the next move. Arts and entertainment combined with the information age and advertising generates billions yearly. These folks only know crypto, tech, and money, so we can't expect them to realize the true potential, because it's not their field of expertise.
The business model caters only to amateurs with high hopes but doesn't perform in the long run. Established folks in this industry are already set up to earn, so they snicker at this approach here with purchasing fake reward in order to earn. The entire view/like buying strategy killed the potential of established networks already, so this method is already behind the times. Tried, tested and failed. Those pushing this approach are amateurs and never studied what works and what doesn't. Copycat artists. Can't think outside the box.
True, what Steemit fails to have, which hurts us the most, is some form of marketing. @ned didn't do his job from the gate and @jerrybanfield made the place a laughing stock. We need to recover from these two fuck-ups and get some real marketing done.
@ned should be using his stake and that of @steemit to push good content up and bad content down.
Trending = scratch my back I scratch yours! Nobody pays attention to it.
Honestly people who actually bought steem at or above these price levels who have tried to buy votes to get onto trending are some brave souls, attacking them is really just a deflection from the back-scratching you speak of that's been going on since forever ago often by people who never had to put monetary skin in the game.
There are some assumptions in your response as I at no time associated 'bidbots' and 'trending' as I did not even believe that one could make the trending page by buying votes. Well I went and checked 'Trending' out for the first time in eonks and lo and behold there are posts which have used bidbots .... but there are still the old usual suspects which have been around benefiting from each others votes ......
An example of one taken from todays trending page
and the majority of those do not vote for posts outside of their circle. To be fair that is how it was..... I have not paid attention to them for at least a year... so mayhaps I am wrong.
Yeah I'm aware of that and the whole ned delegation and guild controversies at the time, I've seen people get utterly destroyed for so much as bringing it up and I can only hope they make good on their stake in the future, it's not really my fight as I'm just trying to accumulate stake to redistribute to those who have less and I don't want to bother with any big flags while I'm doing so.
