RE: Whale Tip! Only YOU Can Save NewSTEEM

in #busy5 years ago

Excellent post,

NEWSTEEM can be a great movement but as is its gone overboard. I know many don't like to call Steem(it) a social media site but like it or not that is what its being used as.

Social media sites need one key ingredient to succeed ....... members and most of those members will be small fish. This #newsteem movement is scaring the large bulk of people away from Steem(it) and while some may point out we can recruit more that will not always be the case. Scare enough away and leave enough with a bad user experience and they will never join again and likely advise there friends to stay away as well.

Sort:  

we can recruit more

This seems to be the focus now. I hope the big fish will start practicing now for the "masses" to come. What about the little fish, contests, and programs we already have If this all disappears, how will new blogs coming in succeed?

I myself run small contest so I know too well all about it. I feel as contest and programs are an important part of user retention. As you said they play an important part in helping a newbie grow.
