RE: The Stupid Old Man Who Thought He Was A Writer
I hear you @richq11 it is very demotivating. I honestly feel the same way. If I did not have to pay my sons university costs I would've given up long ago. The hardfork was NOT a good thing and hopefully things will change soon. Bad bots must definitely go or this platform is going to become a warzone of flagging! Perhaps we must start and build our own community and only support each other. We used to be a close community and honestly that feeling is gone. It took months for us to get where we are and now people do this is in like 3 months. Perhaps we must start doing shit posts to make people notice us again. I am not even sure that is going to work. I just know that something needs to be done soon because many writers with good content are giving up. What will be left of this platform?
You know, I've been thinking the exact same thing. I wonder how difficult it would be to start a new platform, just for creators... Upvotes for content only, not comments. That's where the problems lie, people getting paid for "nice post, how about an upvote."
This might be the best idea you have had EVER! The ideal platform. No spambots and you HAVE TO QUALIFY TO BE PART OF THIS NEW PLATFORM...
comments are good but no money for comments..... we could even use steem or create our own coin....
Honestly have you looked at the new posts coming in? It is absolutely scary...and I don't discriminate but if someone can post a picture of a cup with no content and get $77 then there is seriously something wrong. I feel totally lost. Competition might be good for Steemit...lol
We need to do it! There are over 800 cryptocurrencies... I wonder how hard it would be to get one involved as a medium of exchange. It would draw people to the platform (good for us) and people to the crypto (good for them) Sounds like a win/win! It would take some doing- we need to find people familiar with Blockchain tech. Also have to have active devs- no censorship of ideas- only spam and garbage mongers. Three strikes and you're out!
Let us do some research..it can not be so difficult? I know just the person to talk to!
Good! Let's do it. See what they have to say, let me know and we'll go from there.
