RE: 99 problems but the chain ain't one
I'm sure these thought processes have entered most peoples heads in steemit, at one time or another.
When browsing through the site before I joined -and seeing the rewards for posts that can only be described as total shite - I thought it was a great potential income opportunity.
Believe it, or not, I joined to make 15 dollars a day! - that would significantly increase my income where I live, and change the quality of my life in a very positive way.
I wasn't looking at the big picture/future rises in value of share price etc.
While dreaming about the millions in the future is fun, but for most writing content, day in day out, $15 a day is a jackpot !
The lack of growth in steemit, bots, and the amount of people leaving that have 'given it a go', makes me very, very dubious as to the future of this platforms success, to be honest.
The platform itself is only one connection to the blockchain, there are others and more coming. It is a very visual part of it however and there is a lot of conflicting positions on just about every conceivable topic. Who knows what will come about in the next year or so.
No one knows, but the way it is at the moment, I would say it could very easily become a content free, bot mining crypto, platform.
( I also said bitcoin was the next big thing- when it launched - but a shit time in my life took over, and i never got around to doing anything about it ! doh!)
Hopefully I don't perceive it correctly with steemit. I hope I am so wrong..
