Hey guys,
I am a 43 year old Australian man who loves making videos but have only just started. I am still self teaching myself the Adobe Cloud programs constantly trying to make my next video better than my last one. I am a father of 4 girls so making videos and taking my family along is pretty expensive so it's a slow process but i am enjoying the journey. I have a goal in mind that i am working towards so little steps everyday hopefully i can look up in the future and see the goal posts.
Here are my thoughts on steemit.
Being a content creator that makes videos i find steemit really hard to be seen. I joined a while back and linked all my youtube videos that i have previously created to here. I watched them quickly move to the bottom of the page being pushed down by newer posts.......by some deserving........and some not so deserving. I don't know if it just me but i gave it a 4 month break and not much has changed with my video views. I have added a new one hours before on Alcatraz and it is on it's way down the page.
I like the idea of steemit but to me it is like i have to make nice comments under other peoples post hoping they pay attention to me and repay the favor.
It is almost like a pyramid scheme with the top posters with the most power continuously getting more power by smaller people hoping to get voted by them.
I feel this site is better suited the blogger and quick content creator who can be seen more often to get attention but for someone like me whose video posts take time and money to visit a area, record and make a video and only posts every so often won't be seen.
Anyway that's my thoughts at the moment, could be right........could be wrong, but i will just keep plugging away posting my videos and if someone likes the video, that's enough for me..........that's why i made it.
