RE: How Can We POSSIBLY Hope to Make Progress as a Species When...
Thought provoking post! Social media sites like Facebook and Snapchat, which are driven purely by profit via advertising, are toxic. It's hard to even discern between content and advertisements.
I think once people from more prominent sites like Medium.com and Reddit start to convert to Steemit.. the content creation will be better.
Perhaps that's too optimistic, but I do believe people will migrate to decentralized platforms where they are actually rewarded for the content they create. Why wouldn't they?
Engagement is lacking here. People are too lazy to read. They just want a quick upvote or follow. Our attention spans are that of a goldfish.
Only time will tell.. when it comes to content, thanks for fighting the good fight. All the best
Well they aren't purely 100% bad since then people wouldn't use it. People get massive value out from these platforms. Especially if you use it to maximize your business profits. The way you can reach so many people. The potential! But it requires you to take advantage of new opportunity.
Of course people will move to platforms like Steemit eventually. Because now it makes 0 sense to make stuff for free when you can be rewarded for it and increase your online trust and reputation scores. Content creation in the online space is always being improved. People are reading and generating value by rewarding good stuff. My attention span is not of a goldfish and I know many that have just fine attention.
Time is telling us more people is moving into the space and adopt these new platforms. We are going digital baby. No going back once people see how fast you can exchange value to other people! Of course it still takes real investment and sacrifice of your time to generate a good product that people like.
Haha thanks for the non-goldfish attentive comment. I tend to generalize the masses when I say 'we' or 'our.' I hope we aren't going back! With technology as our catalyst, people are starting to connect the dots and foster win-win relationships.
From blockchain to AI applications, the decentralized value exchange train has already taken off, gaining steam, and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Perhaps we'll get off the 'train' when we pursue space colonization.
Regardless, exciting times
