Steemit is dying

in steemit •  8 years ago 

And the reason it is not a social media platform it maybe has the potential but the community behavior makes it look like another reddit. The individual is not truly free on this platform it has the urge to make money and is also not allowed to share content or copy different pictures and texts it finds interesting this action is called plagiarism and get you banned. To analyze a real social media platform its clearly to see the it mostly consists out of "plagiarism" repetitive posts and the personal life of a individual.

On this platform it is just not possible to reach this state and who is to blame? The Community, with its whales and minnows .

How can it be dying already man? Wasn't it just launched a couple months ago? Seems a little pre-mature.

The community is looking for people to post original content. People who just copy/paste content that they find on the internet is not adding much value to the community. Most people do not like when authors do this, and take money out of the reward pool from other authors that are putting in a lot of time/effort/work to make good posts.

There are ways that you can share things (by properly citing, and including material that you found in the context of a larger narrative - such as why you find it funny and why you think other people would enjoy reading it.) If you do this properly and there is more to your article than just copy/pasting, you should not get flagged for plagiarism/spam.
