RE: Cold Calling the Steem Blockchain to YouTubers!
@grantcardone has already been using Steem for a few years.
He‘s producing solid content (I personally watch it regularly) but is powering down everything he earns as well, so the question stands whether we want to support creators who are only re-uploading old content on Steem and are selling all their earnings nearly instantly, which is displaying to the world that Steem isn’t worth enough to hold and the platform can be milked.
Na, Grant wasn't getting support as much when he started. He (His marketing team) powered down because his post were getting pennies after a whole year.
Maybe we can convince his team to change. Max Keiser, Robert Kiyosaki, Hodge twins, and many youtube influencers experienced the same issues.
Maybe #NewSteem will change that.
@stackin, ah I just read your second comment. Yeah, you are right that one year is plenty time to try Steem and after that if no curation powering down is reasonable. Another overlooked on is @bravenewcoin, their CEO was once very keen on Steem and wanted to meet with Ned on Skype back in the day to share his vision about a community ad revenue model (see @techemist blog), I think ned blew him off and never met with him. They are a respectable news outlet that was allowed to fall through the cracks, curation isn’t only about content it’s also about greasing the right people in the industry so they can push Steem as well, not let them go indiscovered on Steem.
Do you have contact with his Team? MinnowBooster has some spare curation votes we can use to help.
I know a few people there years ago, let me see if I can get a hold of them.
Ok go for it, BuildTeam can help. Pull me into whatever conversations you need.
I think @davidpakman is one such celebrity who is on steem.
Yes he is, we need to seek out new ones and start name dropping Steem to their followers in Youtube comments.
@stackin, @therealwolf, oh crazy I didn’t know he was on Steem, that’s quite a feather in our cap. I do agree that supporting someone who powers down and cashes out is not so great, I wonder why he doesn’t just build himself into a powerhouse on Steem, maybe he needs someone to guide him. I guess normies wouldn’t really know all the nuances of Steem and what is and isn’t socially acceptable author behaviour, Steem was advertised as “Blog. Get Paid” In any event the idea was more to use the Youtube channels of influencers to make Steem know to their followers by utilising the comment section.
