It’s funny as anyone from the world into crypto who talks about social blogging still talks about steemit it’s like they havnt heard of even hive it’s not actually well known I guess ppl that didn’t actively blog just invested in steemit and didn’t know anything that went on

I thinQ WTP (ourMUTUALfriend) made a very productive channel on STEEM back in the day; He also knew when to move it over into hive for good exposure...

But BLURT is where I'm moving MY RevolutionS Forward 🥓


Gaining Momentum 🌭

I prob had similar pattern to him but still when you talk to ppl generally they all know steem not hive I think most didn’t rly follow closely and never rly knew anything happened. I’m talking about investors who didn’t blog daily

The Key here is that you were able to begin using hive and BLURT because of a Chain Fork for hive and a Chain Reboot for blurt... but your wallet addresses of WTP and UVM remained capable... which is an achievement that most people ignore.

The simple truth is that these Graphene chains offer a ridiculous amount of innovation over the rest of the crypto market, but the OLD Babylonian trick of keeping IT about money has completely hidden the Potentials.

Very true.
Whenever I suggest such a thing I get blank stares - I can even see them across a screen!
Like everyone so sucked into the Ethereum they can't comprehend what is outside.
Free transactions are astonishing! Yes, there is a cost but that can be added by the dev, it isn't enshrined in the code.

As you say, the Graphene chain can be used for other things.

I think the Devs should make friends with people over at Proton Mail and BCoin...
go that rout for a change...

They are essentially made up of ppl desperate to do anything from home to make money without a job hahah let’s be honest that is the only people that have time for such long articles. Nothing wrong with that but it’s a limited audience

I think the format is just wrong

Correct...
It's essentially something completely New... STEEM that is, or was... But BLURT did the correct thing more correctly by elimination of a DownVote economic...


So if BLURT is to beat out the old coins it will be with integration of web based services... Like what we're getting to...

Yeah a downvote like YouTube is ok that doesn’t remove value and acknowledges that even negative attention boosts activity on the platform but also just a format of more in the moment content. I rly rly rly strongly feel this long medium format of articles written by people just desperate to not have to get a job isn’t working to retain users. I’m rly not saying that to be mean it’s just an observation many ppl have reasons to stay home etc but it is a limited amount. Of ppl who have the time of desire to read or write that kind of thing. I think most ppl don’t even read most of it and make a general comment to make it look like they have. This isn’t good for retention I rly think it needs to be more like monetised fb or twitter. Some longer bits and then short or just a picture etc way more chatty

Reddit is a much better template to go for IMHO but first thing is to broker BLURT as replacement for email...


Social network media was designed by agencies for turmoil management and state surveillance 🥓

I think they are all old fashioned tbh they encourage too much long format that the majority of ppl
CNnot he arsed to read or write MySpace and fb do well as ppl just pop on and share their thoughts or a pic of dinner who rly has time to read huge long articles every day and even art and photos are pushed to write a load of useless jargon made up to earn dollars lol. I think the format is just wrong

Leofinance has gone down this route by having a shorts section.

That has also been tried before on steem. The frontend kinda hides what's really going on, which is one top post followed by a string of comments.
And yes, few people are actual bloggers.

I mean huge long text and images isn’t rly blogging as such, not in 2023 anyways it is out dated blogging rly. Most people now who might even be full time career bloggers make video format or short content posts rly you rarely see professional bloggers in this day and age writing huge long blogs with pictures, sure there are a few hanging around on the internet but they are not the most popular I don’t think. Medium is a similar format to what these Platforms seem to push for but normally they tend to be rly focused content on longer form. But the majority of blogging these days isn’t rly long form it’s not rly popular anymore outside of video. I think there is a niche audience for it but platforms tryint to push it as the only format I think is part of the issue why they never grow.

I don't like videos, as largely a waste of my attention and time - can read 5x faster, so appreciate those auto-transcripts on some video platforms.
But yeah, the evolution was the magazine format that then turned into sites like Hubpages, and others - some very profitable, but some only paid by adverts, so the topics were massively boring to target the CPC eg pharma, loans, finance, more loans.. yaaawn...
there were also professional blog networks - I only ever really looked at the science ones - those were also profitable for a while, and if the author didn't care, was still a public voice.
How LBRY evolved is indicative of the shift from text to video, as you say.

For me, unless an interesting interview, or short documentary, I don'[t follow any vloggers - most in crypto are boring shills or clickbait crap - or both! lol

I changed myself as I realised all this long text and photographs stuff has no platform outside of these blockchain blogs. It is somewhat old fashioned so I’m forcing myself to get better with video and shorts etc and i actually find it quite enjoyable to learn.

Then imagine if all comments were in video!
