What brought you to Steem?
I like 'crypto' and I was looking for more places to share my work.
What was your first impression?
My first impression was that it was kind of useless and complex, but that was because I didn't understand the tagging system, or how things worked. And I shared a post that didn't get any value.
There are other sites that are also crypto social platforms that offer really low rewards for engagement. I thought Steem was another one of those. It turned out to be more substancial, but I had to make more posts to find that out.
How do you feel about the current state of Steem?
Community needs more good art, and some interesting posts. I think as the platform becomes more adopted, there will be more interesting content to look at and review.
More People would make reward distribution more competitive, but it would also drive up the quality of content. People would have to try harder. This is common in cryptoart. Small pond.
Also suffers from a bad reputation amongst crypto people who are not steemians. Sort of like -- yea that place used to be cool -- AKA steem was worth $8 to $2 and now it's worth .12 cents. not worth it.
As for me, I see it as a place with untapped potential for creatives.
How often do you use Steem applications/websites/etc?
Daily posting.
What is your favorite Steem Application and why?
Main platform suits me fine for now. I might get into appics or ntopaz in the future, but I don't really have a viable phone.
What’s your favorite thing about Steem?
Money for posting things that gets put into a deferred savings account in crypto. That's pretty great. For sharing content I would share anyways. The people have been kind as well.
What’s your least favorite thing about Steem?
Crap shoot as to how much a post will be worth. It might also be more useful if there was more cross collaboration between blockchain projects -- particularly between ethereum and steemit.
How difficult/easy would you say it is to use Steem?
Easy once you've done it and had help from people who have been kind enough to help me.
Hard to understand initially.
Would you recommend Steem to family/friends/coworkers? If no why not?
If they use any other social media platform, and could use the extra money, then absolutely. But even this is not enough to convince some people.
What do you wish you could do with Steem that you can’t currently?
Crowdfund creative projects. -- Like Kickstarter -- There's something like that, but they don't accept erotic art -- Most of my projects are NSFW.
Also, the Ethereum DAO and NFT concepts are stellar, and ought to be included. But Steemians don't seem to see the value of the DAO concept at the moment. The NFT concepts are available, but just for coders.
What excites you most about Steem?
Nice community. Seed capital for creative projects. Long term Investment Account. Low Censorship. Community Organization is a central component.
What worries you most about Steem?
Tribalism. If Steem found a way to become the social platform for the whole crypto community, rather than just an isolated thing, there could be a real resurgence on the platform. Unfortunately, there were apparently whales who downvoted people into oblivion, and value lost, and some dumb stuff about status and steem power vs cashing out steem power. -- A lot of non-constructive behavior, when the constructive thing to do is to be an integrated, primary option for people in the crypto space, as well as an attractive option to bring compelling creative and educational talent onto the platform.
More creatives. More writers. More Students / Educators. -- Posting daily. Would make the place better, I think.
