Hi @achim03
As usual - very interesting and refreshing read. Thanks for sharing link to @jongolson. You got my curiousity the moment when you wrote this magical word "drama" hahaha :)
My question is:
Do you want to be an influencer or do you want to be more ?
My answer would be: since I've joined Steemit in 2018 - I knew that I will be more than another influencer. My goal from the very beginning was to pass part of my knowledge on others and create network of influencers. Which I realized is possible thanks to blockchain technology (which allows us to sent instant micro-payments).
ps. I also hate idea of being called "influencer". It remind me of all those popular instagramers, who really do not seem to be bringing much value. People often desperately focused on their amount of likes and follows.
Why Hive is different ?
Instagram and youtube also were different - long time ago. Before popularity brought money and this pushed developers to create all those algorithms. Steem and hive may face similar future if mass adoption will bring mass popularity. I hope I'm wrong.
Yours, Piotr
Hi Piotr,
I think that you are a very good example of what I would consider a motivator and builder which is in contrast with the traditional type of influencers that can be found on Instagram or Youtube.
You don't just influence others, you motivate them to take action and the result is clearly visible with @project.hope.
I quite had the same thoughts when I was writing that. Already now the discovery on steem/hive is quite difficult and some people might actually request to have algorithms that define what they will see in their feeds. I hope we won't get there because the guy who creates these algorithms can always us them for his own interests...
Thanks a lot for your comment!
Best regards,
Achim
