RE: 3 Things I Hate about Steemit so far
Really valid comments. Reflect my own thinking (and many people I asked to look at the site and give feedback.
Your first 2 items listed; it turns out, these 2 things, reference back to each other in a very frustrating loop!
Things are hard to find, since search is so disgusting..
And because we may only upvote for 7 days, or resteem for 7 days, articles become that much harder to find later.
And there is absolutely no motivation for readers to upvote or promote after the first week.
My article that took me a full day to write, is worth more than 7 days of reward.
I'm sure there are reasons why this was done this way; it has to do with curation rewards for new content?
Not sure.
This would be a good place for founders to engage. @ned
Thanks.
Thanks so much for stopping by and helping to give my post validity! Some people will think I'm just trashing Steemit but it's constructive criticism, I'm enjoying this platform quite a bit so far.. it's just I want it to be as good as it can be. To your point, when u first start on here all that time it takes for a new user to make a post is pretty much wasted. You're not gonna get many views or upvotes because you just don't have followers yet. A great post that may have substance could garner more views and upvotes over time if there was a decent search feature and that should be rewarded if a simple meme can grab a buncha upvotes from an already established poster. It would encourage better content aswell as making the site and the investment better for all
