Steemit is a wonderful community with friendly people and great content to enjoy. Steemians want the community to grow and luckily, a lot of Youtubers have been venturing into the world of Steemit. As a Youtuber I recently made the jump over to Steemit and I learned very quickly that Steemians and Youtube viewers are VERY different! I thought the demographics and interests would be similar to Youtube viewers but I was wrong. I can only speculate but here just a few reasons why that might be so:
-Steemians are generally older than a huge majority of Youtube viewers that are between 13-18
-Steemit is predominantly male at the moment (just speculation)
-There is a lot of interest in cryptocurrency
-Less emphasis on video content and more on writing/photos to express your opinions.
I feel based off of my own experience that it may be hard for Youtubers to settle in here because they aren't aware of what content YOU love to see. Steemians have their own unique interests that are different than the general Youtube audience. This is wonderful, but not if you are unaware of the difference. Something that does well on Youtube may get zero attention on Steemit which can leave us minnows feeling confused and discouraged.
We can help minnows understand their new audience better, Youtubers or not, by sharing what our interests are and saying what WE would want to see more of on our Steemit feed. Let's use this post as a way to open up conversation about just that. Help minnows stay for the long haul and in turn help the Steemit community grow stronger. I think it's about time Youtube had some competition, let's make that happen.
I am a minnow. I would love to see more comedy, life hacks, and crazy stories on my Steemit feed. I would also enjoy more beauty related content.
What about you?
Please Participate! Thanks! :)
