RE: Make 250 Minnows Insights and Observations - STEEM has a big problem

Thanks so much for sharing and I love the project.
Like to share how I experience it:

I think this is the main problem. At first I taught it was the fault of the community as well. Some people come here and write awesome content, but get 5 upvotes worth 0.001. Someone once told me the problem is we have too many creators and too few consumers. But from a bigger picture. Isn't this the same problem that platforms like Twitter have? You have to follow the (hash)tags, interact with people and find common interest. I blame myself now and then for only upvoting and not taking the time to leave a comment. We, especially the new minnows just need to interact more. Support will come with continuous interaction.
It takes too long to grow... typical issue for unexperienced creators. Yesterday in class I shared a video from MKBHD. He currently has 8.2mln subs on YouTube. The video was from 10 years ago. It was his 100th video, he had 74 subscribers. He had uploaded 100 videos over a couple of months and had 74 subs!!!! So many people would have quit at that point. Same here. I know there are a couple of elements that are different, but the premise is the same.
Completely agree on the third point.

Sort:

the difference with going to twitter or facebook or other traditional social media platforms is that you already know people there. that makes a big difference as there is not the necessity to search out communities.

"It takes too long to grow... typical issue for unexperienced creators." I hear ya. having worked online for the last 10 years creating content, I started as many on steem start. I publish my content and the masses dont come. there is a lot to learn when starting to make money online, be it on steem or off steem.
