The more I think about it, the more I think Steemit has amazing potential, and here's why.
When you compare this to other social media platform where people behave like assess to each other, over here on Steemit, people have an incentive to be nic-er. I mean, if you are angry and want to be ranting some crap about someone else, you would have to think twice about that, because your crap can't be taken down after 7 days.
But apart from that, what I am talking about are the followers, the upvoters, and the responses and comments which come from these people.
A good comment or a response is what actually makes the ambience of any social media platform.
Imagine an art gallery filled with the most amazing pieces of art.
But the art gallery is empty.
No one knows it, no one is interested in it. In fact, people don't think the art pieces are actually nice.
Now imagine that beautiful art gallery filled with people who genuinely admire and love the art pieces. Take it a step further, and imagine now people actually clamouring over themselves just to get their hands on the best art piece in the gallery.
No matter how we wanna slice it, as content creators, we gotta really admit that it is THE people that helps define the value of an art piece. It is the AUDIENCE that makes any piece of content worth something. Without a nice audience, a friendly audience, you could have the best content in the world, but it means pretty much shit if no one is going to see it, or be a little nicer or supportive of what you just created for the world to see, right?
That's why I think Steemit has such an amazing potential for the future of social media. It's like a cycle.
If people are incentivised to be nice and supportive, it just encourages content creators to become even better. And the loop goes on, you know, it doesn't really end.
So what do YOU guys think?? Let me know in the comments below !
