You're definitely representative of a lot of people. I've seen all kinds so far. Some think like you; they take the "wait and see" approach. I've seen some that don't want anything to do with it other than to power down and sell their lot. They believe that the project won't go anywhere. And I've also seen quite a few that are all in and they believe that the project will do awesome.
I'm optimistic myself. I see some of what's happening behind the scenes and I believe that the project has lots of potential. I guess we'll see in the long run. I've been buying some and powering up. It's cheap at the moment, so it's time to buy.
There are a few that have started projects and contests on Blurt, and I think that has a potential to boost it quite a bit as well. There is @blurtography, the Man Cave project run by @brofund, and @blurtrides for car enthusiasts. These are the three that I can think of off the top of my head.
If there's enough demand for #caturday and cat related content, I might fire up @caturday.curator on Blurt as well. Hehe!
If I do the Daily Prompt on a regular basis - would you fire up a bot for that?
That is certainly something I could do. We'd have to figure out how the bot would evaluate the posts and then set it up. It wouldn't be too hard.
The way my @caturday.curator bot works on Hive, it looks for posts with cat related tags every four hours, then it picks up to 5 posts randomly and evaluates the posts based on the number of words and the number of images, then upvotes them with a percentage based on the evaluation.
I could do something similar for the Daily Prompt posts.
That sounds good. Here on blurt, I have it open for writing, photography and art...
I don't know how that would work.
Thanks for the thoughtful and informative replay @saboin.
I don't know what's happening behind the scenes, so my perceptions are purely based on what is visible. So I look at Blurt and ask "what DIFFERENTIATES this community from Steem/Hive?" What is materially (rather than just "cosmetically") different from the other sites... in terms of functionality, features, distribution of wealth and power and so forth.
Caturday might be a nice addition here!
