For those of you who read and commented on my article from yesterday about how some Steem apps are taking your rewards, I thank you for all of the awesome feedback that got. It's nice to hear the opinions of others so I don't have to rely solely on the thoughts in my own head.
After writing yesterday's post and going through all of your comments, it's really caused me to think even more about how I use the different applications on Steemit. Here are some of the scenarios that have run through my head (or things I have considered doing) in response to all of your feedback...
What Am I Really Wanting to Achieve?
Ultimately I don't want to end up in a battle with these platforms. Heck, I understand why they're using the beneficiary feature to monetize - they have bills to pay and they use that money for further development. I just think this could be done a lot classier. You know... by letting the end user know that some of their rewards are being taken when they use these applications. And it wouldn't be that hard to implement; it would literally take one line of HTML code. So this makes me wonder, why aren't they sharing this information more openly? Why hide it?
Here's What I Want To Know From You...
You probably thought I was going to ask which of these scenarios I should play out, lol. No I wouldn't put that kind of pressure on you. What I want to know is which application do you most often read/view/watch my content. Or better yet.. where do you find my videos? Please choose from one of the following below and let me know in the comments.
This information will help me in deciding which application I should focus on regardless of how much earnings I am being paid out. At the end of the day the rewards are just a bonus. If I'm not focused on my following then nothing else really matters does it?
If you're interested in more videos, tutorials, and how-tos, I encourage you to follow my channel and leave me replies of things you would like to learn about. If I don't know the answer, we'll learn together! :)
