I want to remind all of you of one clear fact...
Steemit is still in the Beta stage.
Quick Question:
Do you know what the most common kind of whale is on the Steem Blockchain?
A sperm whale
That's right there is so much semen floating around in them whale circles it's hard to goto the trending page and not get slapped in the face with their unwanted spunk.
Yes the trending page is salty and thick
In all seriousness though... you can come to Steemit and get paid for writing.... or copying someone else ideas
if you pay for promotion.
Speaking of paid for upvotes... how about those witnesses that say they are against spam... but own multiple bots that spam everyone they upvote with irrelevant adds about you received a % upvote?
You tell us "in the real world you have to pay for advertising" ... while you take our money and plaster your unwanted advertising all over our walls.
Speaking of spam...
did you know we have a pack of whales that swims around and downvotes others they think are spamming the network .... (of course this is all subjective)
Then they leave a spam message on the down-voted spam saying this is spam.
That's just what I want to read... spam telling me that the article I just read was spam
Do you think this beta experiment will ever leave the beta stage?
After looking around this block-chain and watching the evolution of dmania and D.tube...
The memification and addition of videos via dtube has lead this block-chain away from the original goal of quality blog posts.
I would say that Steemit has lost it's original vision as being a Reddit type competitor.
I feel this block-chain has the potential to become THE social-networking block-chain as the addition of dmania and dtube have widened the block-chains customer base. The addition of Smart Media Tokens only adds to the feasibilty of onboarding more people as there will be alternate currencies that can be used on this block-chain like Ethereum's token.
Right now is a crucial time for the Steem Block-Chain to really identify what should happen moving forward, we have onboarded over 250,00 people since January. That number is half of the amount of accounts that existed at the end of 2017. We will have 1 million accounts by June if we follow the growth we have had thusfar this year.
After examining what kinds of posts people share here on this block-chain I have decided this is more like a Facebook 2.0 than a Reddit 2.0.
What are you're Thoughts?
Will give bonus tips to anyone that wants to cite some of my arguments above ;)
Yes the trending page is salty and thick
Very much so! I had to stop visiting the trending page a long time ago... Well its only been going on 3 months. Sure does seem like longer, doesnt it! I rarely found any quality posts... Just shit and sperm!
I do really enjoy Steemit and all it has to offer, the community is wonderful and welcoming, for the most part. Thats as long as you stay away from Trending, otherwise youre taken right back to cruel and backstabbing ways of Facebook.

Oh definitely read it. I've been having similar thoughts about steemit and I'm a little torn between the huge potential and great people here, and the possibility of it becoming just another scam controlled by wealthy elite like the rest of the world.
Fingers crossed.

I think I can summarize my opinion in just a few sentences. In essence Steemit can be a really awesome social media platform. At this moment it could be that there are to many issues that prevent Steemit to become really popular. And it looks like to little to slowly and to late is being done acknowledge and solve the issues.

That all sounds about right. Plus EOS looming

What do you mean with EOS looming?
Btw I keep amazed about everything going on with these paid upvote bots. I don't think I saw steemyoda and sleeplesswhale before. How do they work? I don't see them on steemitbottracker. And the info from steemyoda seems incorrect.

They are bid-bots that work just like the rest of them.
By the looks of the ads under us.... you figured them out.
Not all upvote services are on steembottracker and not all on steembottracker are correct
EOS is another block-chain that one of the creators of Steemit is working on. I don't know much about it other than a slated opening date of June 2018 and tokens are around $5 USD and only available for pre-purchase on certain dates.

I know I missed a few, but those are all micro bots. I'm still a bit struggling whether I will or won't use those bots. Most bots on steemitbottracker don't give a lot of value. You actually need to buy the upvotes at the last moment. These bots that aren't on steemitbottracker seem to be less popular. Sometimes you even get 100% or 50% from the upvotes. I think I will extend my testing period a little and keep trying for now.
