Steemit Q&A with Temple University Students [@phillyhistory]

in education •  7 years ago  (edited)

A Virtual Chat with Students


@phillyhistory is currently in the midst of hosting a history course at Temple University, where a talented group of graduate students are acclimating to Steemit and using the platform to share their work and research. The @sndbox team was in Philadelphia last month for a workshop and today we’re continuing the conversation through @dtube. We’ve received some great questions over the last few weeks and thought we could share some of them with the greater Steemit community. The DTube video has us discussing several Steemit and broader topics including the following -

  • @dduquette : Do you think Steemit supports cultural institutions and a space for cultural/social work?

  • @dduquette : What type of content does well on Steemit? How does Steemit improve on ‘stickiness’ and user retention?

  • @engledd : What are good strategies of engaging others into a project conversation?

  • @tmaust : What is the ultimate goal of Steemit?

  • @gvgktang : What are the demographics of Steemit?

  • @jfeagan : Is the Steemit platform something that could be made with another blockchain?

  • @tmaust : Will Steemit remain a Wild West-type of atmosphere?

Let us know your thoughts on the questions as well in the comments below! We’ll look to discussing more and more aspects of the Steem blockchain and Steemit ecosystem in the months to come, especially as it pertains to education and professional practice.

@sndbox Kudos on a great super informative and educational series, learning so much out of this and helping me answer some questions that i frequently got asked much better. And Big shout out on using my music and the shoutout! ;) Steem On

Good work! Interesting across the board. LOTS to chew on.

I made sure the Temple students got word of this. Hoping they will chime in with comments and (yes! of course) more questions.

Looking forward to continuing this back and forth. As the students get more familiar - there are definitely layers of questions that arise. We'll do our best to field them as they come up. If this format is productive for your class we'll continue to do it each week or every other week.

Thanks @phillyhistory team!

What type of content does well on Steemit? How does Steemit improve on ‘stickiness’ and user retention?

This has a lot to do with the target audience. Everyone comes in for the money, but some where along the line, they realise there's more to steemit than earning, and not everyone has patience for it.

I feel the younger sect (teens and young adults), would need a lot more conviction and motivation to stay, as steemit is more stoic entertainment-wise as regards other social platforms.

Back to the first question, I've noticed crypto, technogical and science related articles perform better in comparison to others but there are other factors that could effect this (delegation and promotion).

Great thoughts and feedback @debbietiyan, thank you! Patience is key. Steem is a marathon, everyone needs to take time and find a healthy pace.

I believe steemit supports cultural institutions and has a space for cultural works as I have seen many post on culture and even in various languages. About the content that does well on steemit well I do not have an answer to it. I'll simply say find your niche and locate people of likeminds and your content will do well so long it is original and had got quality.

The ultimate goal of steemit is to reward creativity. I will love to read other comments and response to these questions too.

Absolutely @zizymena. Steemit is a global community with so many languages and networks. As time goes on there will be more and more ways for people to discover niches of these networks but it's also kind of refreshing (from a social media perspective) to be able to explore such diverse content!

You are absolutely right. I'm so looking forward to steemit taking over the social media world.

Yes I agree steemit will also expand to enter the village kampong not familiar with steemit
Many creative children's works that can make anything interesting,
With the steemit they can work in steemit because their work will be paid

supper, it's very helpful post for me. thanks

Great job @sndbox may be student is the biggest oportunity for future steemit.
Steemit will grouw up new member from student.. we hope steemit always luck

remarkable hope you all I pray for success all

Great work @sndbox gents! We have been noting similar to certain not-for-profits. Well done.

Thanks for your support @armentor!

@sndbox well i will just give one answer. I believe the articles on cryptocurrency and bitcoin works well enough on steem followed by photography and travelling.

Nice one @sndbox

Great questions, great answers. As a steemien I would probably not be able to answer these questions any better. I love what you guys are doing for steemit comunity.

Thank you @milano1113! :D

one of the questions
until when steemit will survive
@sndbox

What type of content does well on Steemit?

I think posts on cryptocurrency do better than every other post. This is strictly based on my observance over my period of stay in this platform. But then, the performance of a post mostly depends on who is posting it.
On a lighter note, I am happy for the students of Temple University. Their lives are about to be made better. I wish I was told about Steemit while still a student.

I

Likewise, Steem for Students! It would have been great to be exposed to such an experimental resource like this early on.

Quite unfortunate

hey I think your post is excellent because it is important to clarify all those details and avoid the greatest margin of confusion that may exist in the steemit community.

@sndbox sucses fuel to your and good post

Its great.

I am very impressed with the articles you make, from the description of one word to another word is very beneficial and motivational for the reader.
very good work

Thanks for the response about whales. I'm curious about all the bootstrapping apps and tools that you mentioned are being rolled out by the community. Are these all in development currently or can you point to any examples? Thanks for your response to my question!
