RE: Всі види підтримки у Steemit

in Ukraine on Steemlast year

Unfortunately, you have neglected a very important point: to inspire other users with posts and comments, to interact with them and then get their votes. But this is not very advantageous, if many users prefer to delegate their SP to some services...
Kind of a vicious circle, isn't it?

to inspire other users with posts and comments, to interact with them and then get their votes.

Do you think it is possible? :)

You see, I was "lucky" to live in two realities. A year and a half ago, just the interaction was enough for me, and the rewards were a nice bonus. Now, after the main job, I have to look for another part-time job. I can't afford to spend a lot of time on Steemit. Now I think I have a better understanding of the bulk of the authors on this platform. They will happily interact if it brings rewards. If there are no rewards, they will not be able to spend time on it because of the economic situation in their country or family. So I came to the conclusion that without rewards nothing will happen.

I have always held the opinion that we lack authors from developed countries. I even started promoting Steemit a bit on Instagram and Twitter. I ordered paid targeting advertising on Instagram. I adjusted it to cover the developed countries of Europe and North America. But in one of my reels it was about investing in STEEM and I got banned :)

I think if we had more authors who had a good income offline, they wouldn't berate themselves for spending time on something that doesn't feed their family. Then we would see more discussions and interesting posts.

I don't think there is any way out of this situation. But I'm sure it's possible to get a few people together who are interested in interacting. As it is done in your German community.

Do you think it is possible? :)

In general, yes. The decisive factor is only what expectations the users have...

Do not misunderstand: I think it's good that there are users who act as community curators. If they do not act with fraudulent intentions, it works.
But if the posts are written only to serve vote bots or something like that and not to deal with the posts of others at all, then the platform will not survive in the long run.

So I came to the conclusion that without rewards nothing will happen.

If the readers of your posts have a lot of SP, the authors will also receive correspondingly high rewards. But if the SP are delegated for their own purposes, other authors will have nothing from it.

I have always held the opinion that we lack authors from developed countries.

I guess the problem is that for users from such countries, the rewards are not really "worth it". The real value and the time required behind it is simply too low. So it has to be fun primarily. But these users may lose that very quickly when they see some of the activities here. That's why many initially established users have disappeared again.

Then we would see more discussions and interesting posts.

Yes, that's true. I often read that hard work was done and the SC01 still has not left a vote. I find there is already the first sticking point: The communication on the Steem should not be hard work!
When I spend the time here (and it's not just 10 minutes) to reply to you, I do it because I enjoy interacting with you or others. I don't see that as hard work. :-)

I don't think there is any way out of this situation.

It is difficult. The system exists because there are rewards for writing your own articles. I don't want to deny that either. As always, the dose makes the poison.
It's basically an old topic. Investors and authors should both have their shares, but in the current system that works rather badly.

I strongly believe that bid bots are the cancerous tumor of this blockchain. It is a virus that drains the life force from the blockchain and gives nothing in return. Yes, maybe the authors who use bid bots have an incentive not to sell STEEM, but to do Power Up to make more delegation and get bigger rewards. But in the end, this leads to more milking of the blockchain.

I was interested in this topic and read several dozen very old posts. It turned out that this problem has been bothering the community for a very long time. Hard forks were made in order to increase the attractiveness of manual curation, but it did not yield anything. However, I am convinced that everything can be fixed, but a systematic approach is lacking. What is needed is an initiative group to discuss the problem, propose a solution, do comprehensive research on whether the proposed solution will help, and ultimately implement the solution. Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, this is impossible, since the leading witnesses are involved in the current scheme with bid bots.

I guess the problem is that for users from such countries, the rewards are not really "worth it".

You see, we are back again to the idea that nothing can be achieved without rewards.

So it has to be fun primarily. But these users may lose that very quickly when they see some of the activities here. That's why many initially established users have disappeared again.

I've always wondered why people spend so much time, for example on Facebook, without getting anything for it. Reading your comment, I realized that no one gets rewarded on Facebook. It equalizes everyone and no one is offended. Rewards are the main feature of Steemit, but they are also a drawback. There will always be someone who will earn more with less effort. There will always be someone who, seeing this, will leave the platform and tell everyone that everything is bad here.

I don't see that as hard work. :-)

I agree with you here. It is hardly possible to consider it hard work to express your thoughts, either in a comment or in a post :) For some reason, when people meet acquaintances on the street and talk, then they do not blame anyone for not paying them.

this is impossible, since the leading witnesses are involved in the current scheme with bid bots.

Yes, that's what I suspect, too, unfortunately.

You see, we are back again to the idea that nothing can be achieved without rewards.

Of course. That is also the specific thing of Steem and Steemit. As I also wrote, it is more a question of expectations...

Nice example :-)
