Hello all and thanks for stopping by. I would like to address a concern I have with regards to steemit and adoption.
Over the last few weeks I have been active on steemit every single day. Personally being involved with crypto over the lasdt 3 years I see steemits ability to change lives. However we have a problem!
Steemit appears to work only for those who have been involved in cryto in the past. I am guessing mostly all the whales on steemit have been as well and are probably only voting for users, steemit or crypto related information.
For example I helped my father join steemit and he put his heart and soul into writing what we both though is an amazing post. The problem is the post got berried with only a couple comments. My father is not in it for the money he genuinely wants to write content and share his story. I am sorry to say he has now turned to facebook as he reposed his steemit article on fb and got a great response! Unfortunately he now tells me steemit is a waste of time.
My wife has posted almost every single day up until a few days ago about what she does for a living, although she was hoping to earn some extra cash she was truly excited to share and has now also given up because she feels she is wasting here time.
My father and wife both has only created genuine original content and they have both given up due to lack of response to there posts.
My question is why does this happen to everyday people? Is it because they can't relate to the crypto steemit crowd? I have personally made a effort and introduce almost 20 family and friends and they have all given up after a post or two despite my best efforts to help. I get the same response, it doesn't work people don't read or comment on there posts.
Personally I see the potential and can earn a little cash around here doing related tutorials and stuff but what about the masses? I think we might have a problem people!
Thanks for reading I am looking forward to your comments!
