RE: AskSteem: How much have you earned on Steem this month so far?
I’m confused why you still keep marketing in this way, when you have mentioned elsewhere that having people come here just for the money is not beneficial?
Am I missing something?
Marketing as a get rich quick platform is not the same as one where you can earn something for your time compared to the other two.
“Come here and make money” is the marketing that has been used since day one, that I thought everyone agreed did not work.
I understand “earning” is a way to attract creators who are sharing their work elsewhere, but to just do here as well as an additional income revenue.. and not bring their audience.. isn’t really that beneficial (as we have seen).
I just wish this style of marketing, and the heavy staked votes that follow, would perhaps try to incentivize bringing the audience and viewers as well.. not just cross posting for huge, unrealistic longterm, votes.
Either way I appreciate getting the name out there at all, just was confused based on conversations I’ve seen. Thanks for your response.
as someone who is lost in all that web 3.0 talk, for me it looks like the money part is the part of all that talk. as you all will earn something (mostly pocket change) for all the data you share on the web. from that point of view you could ask people did you earn anything on xy social network because mass majority earns nothing.
3.0 web talk should be more about self ownership and decentralization.. not “get paid for your data”.. as you can’t get paid for your data, unless someone is willing to pay for it, otherwise that doesn’t work longterm.
If there is no demand for particular content, there is no logical reason it would earn anything.
So there should be a focus on actually rewarding what is valuable, or perhaps what attracts an audience.. as just handing out inflation, if it never brings in value, will end up backfiring.
As quite frankly .. why should anyone earn from their “social media” unless it somehow attracts a large audience?
The value is not earning off everything you do.. the value is being a part owner in a platform that can not be shut down by a centralized force. The cherry on top is being able to earn, if you can attract an audience.. imo anyways.
i do agree with most of it. but everything has some demand. i am sure that fb or insta made some money out of the fact that i am on it. and is there a demand for my content? not really (100-200 people click the heart icon, and that is mostly because of small town, everyone knows everyone). so why not micro payments for micro demand :D
