I almost never look at trending or hot (what is difference between the two anyway). There is nothing interesting to see there. I sometimes look at new for a random gem.
Tags and the postings of those you follow are far more interesting.
100% agree. It takes some time but once you have a solid base of people you follow, this platform is great.
The trending page however get's an F-
Just like in real life, advertisement is what makes something to trend. And that means paying money to bots. So there is nothing wrong in calling it trending, since it doesn't mean quality.
I couldn't resist....Bawaahahahahahaha! aka...lol!
For the 1Kth time:
THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are tooooooo busy making money; though, I'm beginning to question just how much of the money in their payouts is actually landing in their WALLET.
I do believe that eventually someone will create a STEEM platform solely for bloggers. On second thought, scratch that! Why should they when they can make real money on other platforms related to Steem, i.e. Dtube, DLive, et al?
The only way things may change is if every penny earned was powered down; and, every SBD earned was cashed out. Should this happen, it's more likely that the rules will change for dispensing money, more than the goings on with the platform.
All is well. Eventually Steemit is going to be more about people wanting to grow their niche. This will have very little to do with generic blogging; and, more about incorporating SMT into their entrepreneurial ventures.
I write cathartically. What I earn is something to invest in the crypto pool...eventually dispensing eggs out of the one basket.
Peace.
Perhaps that blog platform will appear on EOS
Perhaps; but, if we stay mindful that the survival of the Steem community relies on income-driven resources, the generic blogs of planktons/minnows will only represent a small slice of the earnings pie, no matter the platform.
Everything is in the baby-steps mode; and it will be interesting to see in a few years the success of BTS, EOS, et al.
Best regards!
Peace.
For mid term success of the Steemit platform quality is critical. Focusing on wealth inflation will kill it. Pure speculation: probably the key reason Dan left Steemit.
Interesting observation... ✌
yeah they don't give a fuck. they know they don't need quality posts. they make enough money from the bot services.
