I've been apart of the Steemit community for a few weeks now and have really loved the idea ofthis platform. It creates an entirely new concept for creating and monetizing content. I've had an absolute blast creating content and interacting with the community. As someone who has never been huge on social media, Steemit has really drawn me in with the great content and crypto focus.
That said, I had a few questions that I was hoping members of the community might be able to enlighten me on:
Questions
How does Steemit as a company plan to make money? I understand that the STEEM tokens and dollars are economic vehicles but, once crypto gets mainstream and some of the speculation dies out, are the Steemit God's planning to find advertisers or fund the business off the selling of STEEM?
Has anyone else encountered bugginess and slow response from the Steemit webpage and the esteem app? I assume this has to do with the recent upkick in new users but, was curious if the Steemit team had addressed the issue?
Is there a long term plan to address the spam bots and upvote/resteem bots? I understand that some bots serve a purpose and it creates a new form of service industry but, it seems like an inorganic way to reward content, rather than letting the good content shine on merit alone.
I've seen that it takes quite a long time to get an account these days. Is this to make sure server load doesn't get to bad? Or are there other reasons for the account creation delays?
I know that Steemit also runs D-tube so, they have a long form blog type service similar to Reddit (Steemit) and a YouTube competitor (DTube). Are there plans to add a Twitter like service?
Thanks in advance for answering a few questions from the new kid on the block. Happy Steeming!
