RE: Building on Steemit: Your Fellow Community Members are PEOPLE, not Just “Upvotes!”
I'll be extremely interested in watching how many people read, react and comment on this. I'll save you the boredom of me repeating myself, having shared my own thoughts so recently.
your harvest will simply get smaller and smaller until there's nothing left and then you will starve to death.
Being one of the users allocated the largest steemcurator account for the month of July, we're starving to death. We're foraging, picking what we can but the lands are already sparse.
Sadly, I expect very few, and most likely the ones who do will merely see this as a sort of confirmation of what they already believe/want to be true.
People have an unfortunately way of "filtering" what they see/read in such a way that it supports their reality.
😮 - it gets harder as it gets bigger !
Fact! But it still falls to us — the active community members — to do our best to support that which makes Steemit a better community, and "push down" that which is basically abusing/milking the system.
In addition to just how the base code presents content, it might also be where "country representatives" can help speak directly to their compatriots to set a good example. I know some of this is already in place... and I also know it's a fairly thankless job to manually mute "spam-and-scam" from communities, but I doubt we can expect sustained growth of Steemit if outsiders looking for the first time see only an ocean of rubbish.
Umm, language might have got in the way here...
And the choice of emoji too 🫨
