Steemit has just been updated 10 minutes ago, and new features have been added. This is my first impression about them ( I might be wrong, this is just my impressions, and I am trying to figure out what happened exactly):
It looks like a new toolbar has been added to the topside of the site where you can now view the: new, hot, trending, promoted and popular content. It is now more easy to understand what they mean, instead of using words like active and longterm payout (or whatever it was called before).
Also the promotedis a new tag, that comes together with a button:
So it looks like you can now spend Steem Dollars to promote your articles in the promoted tag, and get more view from visitors. It is a very clever idea:
- On one hand it offers paid promotion for people who want to get big exposure
- On the other hand it stabilizes SBD, gives more utility to it, and offers another form of long term-investment, namely into increasing the number of followers you get and the potential profit / article
A very clever and good feature, hats off to
