Hello..
Welcome to my blog!!

We have seen Steemit evolve from a blogging plartform to many other things.. We have seen dtube, dsound and dlive, these platforms has offered a place to gamers, artists, entertainers making steemit a place where you can do anything..
Anything?
I don't think so.. Steemit may be great for bloggers but not for entertainers, not yet, not like this.. I mean look at Facebook, youtube and Instagram; comedians, dancers etc post their skits there to get recognition. Let's say I'm a comedian and i constantly post my skits on Instagram, If I'm good enough, I will start getting deals and jobs to perform. There can be a show in town and the organizers will be needing comedian and boom! I get a job and a job after that and after that.. That's the essence of social media, Exposure and Recognition.. Exposure for talents, businesses and corporations. And Steemit lacks that..
I know that likes are not monetized in these plartforms, but let's face it, the likes on steemit are not worth much either. Let's say a comedian keeps posting his skit on dlive or dtube, the only real upvote might get after months is upvote from dlive or dtube because not much people have the time to watch videos like the way they read articles. Even if you get an upvote that is not worth much, you won't get recognition because potential employers are not on steemit.. And over time you will starve. This applies to business owners not just entertainers.. Steemit focuses more on boring blogs than any other thing, which is why you see more talents on other social media platforms than on Steemit..
Steemit can't replace the centralized social media if they don't promote the platform.. The only promotion I see is beng carried out by the users not steemit.inc. We hardly hear from @Ned.. Every company have a social media account but they don't have a steemit account because they don't know about Steemit. Steemit needs to do better, why will i spend time promoting steem if the ceo/builders don't do that. Just imagine Medium, they are literally on my face, sending me mails every single day.. Eos is everywhere i look, people promote eos with everything they've got because they believe in @Dan.. But people can't believe on a person that constantly keeps them in the dark, and Ned is good at that..
Steemit.inc needs to entensively promote themselves before it can ever be the ideal social media platform. If not they should be a strictly blogging plartform, that way we won't expect much from them.
P.S. These are just my thoughts, I might be wrong, feel free to correct me in the comment section..
Thanks for reading..
