RE: How many Steem accounts do you have?
I only have one. I can't imagine using more than one. It is hard enough to get anyone on Steem to look at your stuff let alone interact with it. I have enjoyed Steemit for the little time that I have used it but unfortunately it is just starting to feel more and more like and echo chamber. Everyone I try to get to come to Steemit leaves the platform after a few short weeks because they don't understand to community and the hierarchies. They all leave saying the same thing, this is a dead site and it wont be popular for long. Now I am starting to wonder if they are wrong or right?
Agree that it is very hard in the beginning if nobody knows you. It takes a lot of patience. Just posting isn´t enough, more important to make comments and interact with other users as much as possible. Some communities are very active, so I wouldn´t say it is a dead site. Check out the different apps, a quick overview is here: https://steemapps.com/?time=last_day
I would like to agree with you but without new users and growth to the site I don't see how this will last. Steemit makes it feel like you are the new kid in school. There is a ton of kids and the new school means lots of possibility. Unfortunately you find out that once you find your niche your audience on here gets way smaller, then on top of that you need to get the cool kids ( whales) attention to get some steem going for yourself. Other sites you start out a little more equal, this site you are straight up bottom feeders until summed up to the big leagues. I know it takes time and that you need to go and comment on the whales stuff but in reality it just adds to the whales attention and interactions. They see their posts and not yours. I have had more luck chatting with celebrities on twitter then getting to interact with people on Steemit. Even the minnows hate the minnows and only try and interact with the big dogs on here. The block chain is the only thing Steemit really has going for itself. Which is easy for new comes to give up because they would rather interact with people then earn a little bit of steem all by their lonesome. Honestly I see the games and apps becoming the new steemit and I see the blog stuff kind of falling to the waste side. I will check out the app you sent me, which I am not going to lie. I have been told the same thing by anther person so maybe I am just getting this steem thing wrong and not following the right Steem protocol or something... Thank you for the insight.
