RE: The importance and value of being original in Steemit.
Very true. I truly believe this platform will mature down to a system which rewards original content, and if you keep your spirits up, you will benefit over time. The resilience of the platform is being tested at the moment by dark forces of this world, but has gained respect from the rest. We wait and work and write, till the day we have something akin to what you have written about, and that day will be a good day, not only for us, but also the whole world.
Agreed. The resilience of the platform and its users are being tested. I hope originality gets appreciation. Steem is on a roll. It's still in beta but the model is unique and lucrative to attract a lot of crowd and curating the posts from an ever-flowing crowd is difficult and it becomes difficult to get noticed for one's work. I guess it's a matter of time and a stroke of luck. Whatever it is, we need to keep up the grind.
I think there is a fair way to go before we see original content getting the recognition it deserves. Having used quite a few revenue sharing social media sites before (non have truly managed this and most folded under the weight of spam or their own mistakes (google bubblews for a prime example of one that spectacularly failed on both counts)
things steemit need to get in place asap for those coming over from that side of the internet are
a working follow button (this will change the game for the shrimp and minnows)
a way to organise who you are following
"channels" we tend to write about a lot of different thing but that can be confusing for those following you
a copywrite free photobank - copywrite issues will occur without one..personally i'd love this to be a way for photographers to earn by using an app to take their pictures (it proves they are original works and someone using your picture would act as an up vote.
a preview of a users past work on their profile rather than a list of their actions.
i don't know what the teem have planned but i hope at least some of these are on there.
Those are some really good suggestions!
I am sure they are working round the clock to make improvements on so many levels.
