It’s difficult to get great content creators on Steem when the misaligned economy remains unfixed. Anyway, I just wanna move onto happier thoughts. For real, 110% guaranteed. Hope others will find strength to continue bearing the torch. Just copy and paste @trafalgar or my comments on anything regarding the problem and solution, if you believe it's pretty much our only other topic of discussion for like a year now.
As I’m still in my writing hellhole, maybe for eternity, I would just like to share a video tonight, made by TechLead on Youtube recently. It's a bit sarcastic at times, but overall it resonated well with Steem’s real potential:-
This is what some of us have been trying to suggest all along, a content discovery and rewards platform is key. All things considered, it's a vector that only requires 20% effort for 80% of the resulting network effects. Of course, under a favorable economic design. I'm the laziest guy in the universe, so maybe you can lowkey trust my non-expert and totally unbiased opinion here.
Too much is currently being invested into the large swath of content-indifferent activities that are less effective at producing long-term network effects. More coins, more apps, more use-cases, more bubblegum flavors, and more businesses are important, but arguably not the best form of leverage in the early stages. Perhaps what's more important now is to put a little more effort into having a functioning content discovery and rewards platform first. Then the rest will follow.
The lazy-ass curator in me is saying, go for it. Please try to invite TechLead. I've already reserved the @techlead account here. Hope he's up for it.
It's just a shame the economy is currently garbage for good content creation and discovery. Uh.. why am I talking about this again? I swear this is the longest breakup ever lol.
