good post ! as the crypto winter turns to spring I think it's time to make a more concerted effort to simplify the process of onboarding and running an account on steemit. It's still quite a daunting technical process for many people and although there may be advantages to setting a high bar to entry, even if it's inadvertently, most people will never see steemit as a worthy pastime in the same way that they use other SM platforms.
Engaging communications and (animated) explainers would be a great way of showing people how powerful steemit is as a tool kit.
Dissemination of the steemit message around the theme of communities, engagement & it's future tokenisation opportunities need to be made.
Amazon started selling books and took over the world's shopping. Google just had a search engine jamming up Stanford servers, even farcebook was a college yearbook (and then proceeded to completely disintegrated the facade of democracy we supposedly used to live in), thanks to the power of advertising revenue.
Herein lies a useful tale of warning for the future of Steemit revenues, the innovative project which started off as a pioneering income based, blockchain powered social media platform and became the most active chain based meta-project in the solar system.
I'd be happy to help explaining when you get a budget.. for such things. my award winning animation company specialises in such messaging.. with clients such as The UN, BBC, F1, WWF and many more >>> click below to find out more and see a selection of our work
In addition to over 16 years experience as Creative Director, using animation to help explain complex messaging for clients far and wide,
I also made a series of blockchain explainers for opencryptotrust recently and I've written hundreds of award winning blockchain articles.. You could say that I'm a kind of blockchain evangelist...
check out a sample below from a series of 4 films I wrote, directed and produced. It was an enjoyable challenge. It's technically complex and tailored to a technically literate TELCO audience but you'll soon see how the power of rich symbolism has the potent power to mesmerise viewers into remembering very clearly the complex messages you just delivered straight into their cerebral cortex..
enjoy and feel free to ask me anything you like :) .. this film opens with a glowing reference to graphene, bitshares and steemit
IMHO
