RE: Arsenic Lullaby- Comics Halloween Exclusive
Steemit have their own goals, but they have given us an open platform that anyone can exploit. Different groups have set up these 'tribe' sites for whatever they are into independent of Steemit Inc. I think SMTs are supposed to be a better version of this as they make the tokens properly decentralised.
I really need appreciate that you have stuck around. I wish Steemit would use their influence to diversify the users. Maybe people will push more for this at Steemfest, but it needs interest groups to form and organise. There's some of this going on around comics with @blewitt and @bryan-imhoff. It's still a small platform really and we have to find those willing to get involved before it takes off.
I'm not sure if they will see this, but @andrarchy and @elipowell need to look beyond the crypto world. They are not saying much.
I need to get back into music on Steem as there's lots of potential there.
Yeah...I've got stuff to say about the colossal waste of time and energy that was creating SMT's....they are the answer to a question that no one asked.
If they'd have spent HALF that time promoting steemit itself steem might be above .25 again.
Blewitt and Bryan are doing good work and really giving it a go...the problem is that Steemit inc has it's head so far up it's crypto ass that these tow guys have to suceed IN SPITE of the machinations of the very site they are trying to promote---Like I said, new people come here, see the "featured posts" assume this is a site for crypto stuff that they don't understand nor care too and then never come back. IMAGINE for a moment that steemit inc was actually run by someone who wanted to grow it and new people who came here say "featured posts" featuring comic, music, art, comedy...or ANYTHING THAT A REGULAR HUMAN BEING MIGHT BE ENTERTAINED BY.
HEY STEEMIT INC...PEOPLE USE THEIR LEISURE TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO BE ENTERTAINED...YOU DUMB ASSHOLES.
Crypto is their business, but they give us the means to build a system to promote whatever we want. Get the new people to look at the alternative sites and say Steemit is not that relevant. Steempeak is a much better way to use Steem anyway.
