RE: We are promoting Steemit the wrong way. Here is what you need to know...

in #steemit7 years ago

"Earning Steem through content curation - passive upvoting - is only something a whale can do.
So unless the newly won consumer buys in with huge amounts of Steem and becomes a whale himself, this consumer won't earn anything here. That's a fact.
What makes things worse though is, that "we" have sold them the dream of earning money and have now created a customer, who is deeply disappointed by our service."

Bingo!! Unfortunately, you are exactly right about this, and it does much more harm than good.

.... Unfortunately, those of us who are continuously creating content (because it's an addiction and it's what we do), are sitting here trying to get our content seen.... and it's not. Seen, that is. Which leaves an ever widening gap between those that have (the whales) and those that have not (the minnows).... remind you of anything else?

I don't have much to add... Yes, it seems, as if the moment people are coming together and there is some monetary reward in play, the shadow aspects become obvious very quickly.
We have to face them in a loving way, without falling for the trap of pitying ourselves.
This is the game we play. Thank you for reading! ❤️
