It seems to me that there are diverging interests at work on Blurt - but at the same time - trying to pretend that they're not...
1/Crypto currency
2/Social media (blogging).
IN THEORY (like Steem and Hive)...The platform was sold as a 'earn crypto to blog'.
IN PRACTICE (like steem and Hive)...The combination of nepotism, psychological weaklings and libtard ideology, have led to a platform that does not value quality content - whatever genre that may happen to be - but would rather reward 'yes men', and whoever unwaveringly supports the platform.
Content will always take a back seat to 'the cult of Blurt'.
It's hardly a good working model for any future growth, is it ? - not unless it was never really about content creation, and ALL about cryptocurrency token prices - which, paradoxically, is ALL about quality content.
If there are no interesting articles, no thought provoking discussions - there will be no eyes 'on the product' .
No eyes on the product, means no interest in the product.
No interest - means no investors.
...(and not even more bag holders suffering from the delusion that the greater fool theory doesn't apply to them...bless).
So...if it's ALL about a crypto currency that has no interest- where does that leave us?
Take the FUN and interesting articles out of a blogging platform, just means taking the fun out of the fundamentals.
So all you're then left with are 'da-mentals'...(libtards)....Which kinda seems appropriate, doesn't it ?
If promoting quality content - something that keeps eyes on the website - is not the aim - then what IS?
Making the platform as dull and as boring as possible is not a good business plan.
For both your crypto token price - and for blogging.
...To quote Sherlock Holmes
"...When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...”
I now find it impossible to believe (at this point) that the blurt blogging platform has an ethos, leadership, or even desire - to attract quality content creators.
So if this is the case - which it most certainly appears to be...
Whats left...?
Yeah ,.. found some disturbing vid about some of them blurt "investors" that run this place ,.. it's all clear to me now ,. ;-)
...."truth is in the comedy"
Is this your own creation -

If so it's pure genius!! Hahaha
indeed..I quite liked that one as well !... if I do say so myself...
very clever wordplay yes. Da mentals hahahahaha
your blog is white noise empty content and ya try and call it politics or psychology but you just got empty crying over libtards, get over yourself
Blogging in non crypto platforms also has money involved. Money is a powerful tool and commonly used in all life aspects including the war on public opinion. The diff is that on the blockchain is more transparent. Also blurt, unlike hive or steem, eliminated the downvotes that triples the power of stakers and allows them to not just not approve but actually damage content rewards. You have many good points but sometimes you have a very simplified notion about right and wrong and you say many things are wrong. Yet you keep blogging and being rewarded so looks like you do have inner strong beleive that the effort is worth it and somebody realy does listen.
....For example ?
For every word I write on here (nowadays), there are 100 written elsewhere.
Lets see. Heres an early quote in your post:
"...have led to a platform that does not value quality content" while at the same time your post gets highly rewarded.
That comment does not fulfill any example that I asked for , though, does it ?....
How does that comment above, illustrate either of your two claims that I asked for examples of ?
My rewards does not reflect the ethos of the platform (quite the opposite , in fact) .
I can give you innumerable of examples that support my claim.
Opidia receiving $1.50 per very low IQ meme, daily (for example). This is VERY low qltiy, being highly supported.
My 1200 word posts, with several illustrations and a couple of hours effort , receives $4/5?
See the disconnect?
I could post one meme in 3 minutes, without a couple of hours work. Lazy people get rewarded here.
(a very socialist mentality)
Or how about a witness receiving $1.20/ $150 per day - just for writing about his sleep patterns , for example.
My list is verrrrry long....
If you wish to debate the philosophical argument of 'value is subjective' - I would agree.
MY subjective opinion - is that the ethos and nepotism that goes on day in and day out on blurt- illustrates a platform not in alignment with my own perspective as to what constitutes 'valuing good quality'.
Do you have any clearer examples of your original point, please?
Thanks.
You gave valid examples. I understand your point
Hes going to make about $2.75...so bugger all...
😂
The content here is so bad lately, its barely worth stopping by to look at...i wonder if any of these people saw steemit in 2016 or 2017 when posts were getting hundreds of comments and $80 payouts were common
