Lost in the comment section just 48h after this post.
This is my opinion and it worths what it worths:
You are blogging. But are you?
For most people blogging is to share quick thoughts, small events that happen in the day and jokes and hobbies.
But here we are with professional content producers writting articles too long to read and way longer to write on themes related to such specific skills that only a few percentage of people would take the time to read.
I mean you are over the top here with your content production.i am surrounded by scholarship masters that done really good in school with lots of time in their hands to write kilometres of words to express their science, opinions, criticism, discovery and so on.... where do you have the time sitting 6hours in front of a screen writting articles for fun?
If Facebook or instagram is successful its because youngster used it first.
Facebook now is deprecated for millennials, only old people use facebook and by old i mean 35+ for the eyes of millennials.
they chose to go on instagram and instagram became huge after facebook and now everyone including older generations are on instagram but that is going to change for sure but it ain't going to be hive steemit or whatever...
Ask a kid what he thinks of facebook he/she ll tell you its for grand pa. What is the average age of all this circus in crypto blogging? 35 maybe even more, i would say 40 but it s just a guess.
And if they were successful its because its free and easy to use. They don't care about the incentives, wallets, power, multicurrency dynamics, they dont care about being the product blaBlabla. People dont care do you get that?
Now i could refer all of you guys as a bunch of wordoholics, lexophiles, logomaniacs... you have put the level of content to another level, out of reach for a regular person and specially young ones.
You have managed to intelectually regroup some how with different banners: medium, steemit now hive etc.. but do you spend time on social media?
Like the real social media the one where millions of people spend their chill time. You dont really come to hive to chill do you?
Now content producing is an all different banger. Because there are many way to express ourselves not just by writting articles.
In art section if posting an art piece and you have to write 2 chapters about it to make people feel that the content is worth it and that you might get a few dollars thats just a big pile of shit and it reminds me of school.
Guys i put it straight for you: majority of people didn't like school, a majority of people aren't going to write stuff for crypto rewards because you know what? No body cares about crypto and everything is about being entertained on screen. Most of your generation read books or kindle if they want to chill. Maybe you should make hive kindle friendly that might help exposure and audience.
Your intellectual filters are what prevent mass adoption or expansion in fields were we don'tneed to b journalists freaks to talk about we like.
Look at tiktok its booming crazy. Its the shittiest app ever but it s mooning in terms of use. No surprise there its not rocket sciencento see why.
Why are you wondering if content is not been seen ? Because you are not enough and not enough people really have time to put so much commitment in reading an online website. Its rigged from the start in terms of time i dont even go to the whale/crypto stuff.
The masses are not going to surprise you. And your quality content we ll struggle because we are about limited on how much 1 human being can actually take specially when it comes to screen time.
What you have here is quality but it will be ignored, you can try the best you can you will stay a minority.
Fry your brains out as much as you like but to read your article or anything on hive is just out of my lead and that include a majority of people. I have other stuff to do but reading even if its quality the amount of content produced here i have a life and thats the attitude of a majority of people.
I am into photography do you really think people care? Yes the geeks, the geeks always care about what their geeking about but most of people what they want is chill look good and nice little colors on their screen to entertain them.
There are 100 more arguments about why and how things are like this but you are in blogger bubble and that means a very small fraction of people tiny little bubble.
