RE: The Youtube Crypto Ban Escelates & We Need To Act!
Telling Youtubers about Appics will not make big effect. Most Youtube (and other sensored platform) authors already know about alternatives. There are many of them, not just Appics. And hosting is NOT an issue for them . Hosting can be done so many ways. Even on home PC. Accesibility, awarenes, number of potential users/viewers is the problem. How many users are on YT ? Millions, hundreds of millions. Maybe billions. How many active on Appics? A few hundreds? A thousand at very best ? If Appics team, together with all us, could reach the user base growth by 1000x, 10000x - this is what would work. This should be as #1 on our priority list. How long we will see those "coming soon" notes in the app? When the onboarding new members will be simplified, and manual authorisation (for app download) removed ? When we can edit our posts, comments, tag people and locations, efectively flag/downvote abusers? How long you will keep 65-25-10 split ratio, and do you realy believe these proportions are the best for fast groth ? IMHO, telling OG Youtuber - come in here, we have something new for you, just...yeahh... still in BETTA - looks not much more than a joke. Im on Steemit 3.5 years, have onboarded here dozens, if not hundreds. And I keep doing this. And for Appics too. But all the above named limitations and obstacles does not make me very enthusiastic... Massess are not so patient as we here, which sitted silently since ICO. Masses are already spoiled by YT, IG, FB. Dont get me wrong, i still believe in Appics. Other wise why would I keep buying those APX's ? Approaching 70K now. If only Newdex & SE Gateway could work a bit better...
Thanks for your feedback. Regarding your points, we are aware that in order to onboard the masses we will need to have a seamless user experience and onboarding process, which is what we're currently focusing on.
We've prepared campaigns with international brands and "influencers" already, but have been holding them back on purpose until we have improved and simplified the onboarding process.
Still, with news like this it makes sense to raise awareness for Appics - since it's not just another way to host your content, but to earn and get rewarded directly and independent from Ads. What makes Appics attractive right now is that you have the early adopter advantage. It's always good to be ahead and establish a following early, before a platform becomes widely known an popular. This is why my team and I posted regularly on Steemit since the early days, even though the user experience was not even close to other traditional social media platforms.
So in conclusion, all the points you mentioned are clear to us and in the works, but at the same time we can spread awareness and either they will join now, sooner or later.
Keep moving forwards....improve improve and let us edit soon 😘😉🙌🌈
Ohhh, forgot 1 thing. (But how can I edit ???) Upvoting is nice, but not the only thing you all can do. Resteem! Just like I just did to my 5300+ followers.
I really appreciate your valid points, speaking my mind, even though I know that there is lots of patience needed to finalize a project. Masses are indeed not that patient and I am still cruising around way too much on Instagram and even Facebook to reach “masses” and friends. I would
love to let go.....
