RE: Why Steemit Isn't Growing -- IMO
Well said. We are finally seeing more and more senior members like yourself standing up to be counted and demonstrating in simple terms that this platform will NOT grow further unless we have more new members. That is a simple truth.
I am tired of hearing philosophical arguments from some people telling us about taking responsibility for buying our own stakes and 'nothing is free' blah blah blah, but this all very well, but without new numbers, the blockchain dies.
I read a post from someone last week, @themarkymark I think that said there are just around 12000 active users here right now. That is dreadful after 2 years and something needs to be done.
Thanks again for speaking up and best wishes to you. I was recommended to follow you by another member. Seems its going to be a great choice :-)
its nonsense, we have enough creators here, now we need an audience. that's the way I see it. Do we just expect our audience to look at all of our beautiful content here and not comment? I think every member here has at least 100 people they could invite here from other social media platforms, what's the hold up? Nobody would put themselves through this except content creators so none of us are inviting people. It takes so much effort to bring people here and explain to them nonsense they don't want to know and why would anyone spend this time? I am really curious who came up with this brilliant idea, I think their SP should be stripped away. Markymark is a voice of reason for sure, I always listen when he speaks because he knows his stuff, even though he won't admit how smart he really is, just a pancake lover at heart. I hope we can get some common sense going on here, too many brains and not enough common sense in my opinion, I appreciate you putting in your two sense.
It may be stating the obvious, but one does not even need an account to be part of the audience.
sign out and reply to this comment. it doesn't work. I am not talking about spectators, I am talking about a participating audience, people that are not looking to make money posting but might make some here and there from comment upvotes.
I understood you & that's what people do on FB ALL the time.
I always wondered why I don't see people making a lot of money on their articles.
I finally figured out that 90% of use can vote till we are blue in the face & it doesn't even give you a penny.
The penny I just gave you is the FIRST time my vote has counted & that's ONLY b/c of the person who helped me b/c I could no longer comment. He gave me some SP.
it's nice to see some cents isn't it, would like to see more sense around here :)
Now that would have deserved the emoji that ROLLS around on the floor, but alas, I have no clue how to get emojis on here (sigh)
yea, i don't use emoji here unless i copy them from someone leaving them, i can get them on my iphone but not my computer, i am in the discord now if you want to save your mana :)
What does save mana mean?
You mean every time I comment here it depletes something???
Point taken.
