Some people boasted about 10,000 people using Steemit but, judging by the pending payouts, almost all the activity is $0 / "freemium users".  Getting a force of 10,000 out is sizeable in the crypto but it makes it nowhere as popular as Bitcointalk dotorg and isn't indicative of viral adoption.  

As I've said before - Reddit clones have been tried a dozen times before and none end up viral.

You must be high or retarded if you think the hard data recorded on an immutable block chain is not indicative of viral growth: https://steemle.com/charts.php

This guys resorts to logical fallacies when he gets owned.  Cheesy

Steemit is 10,000.  Even that GetGems stuff, which was a clone of Telegram, had over 300,000+.

I've been looking at Alexa Rank and Google Trends, Steemit is nowhere as popular as other Reddit clones like Voat.  People will realize shortly there's no people coming onto Steemit (other than crypto regulars and a few friends) and that's when the capitalization will tank.  Smiley

Of course. What would one expect from paying people to join. That isn't a virally driven activity done out of one's own desire to join and contribute.

It is analogous to bribing your sister to do your homework for you. As soon as she is done with your paid job, she gets back to doing what she loves doing normally.

And besides, Dan and Ned have no experience whatsoever in making million user websites and applications. I do.

Compare:

With Ned's university degree in Economics and Psychology (and no relevant career experience), he has created a braindead design which doesn't even understand well economics and which attempts to trick users into thinking they will earn $100s per blog post, by using a quadratic weighting function. But the reality is most users earn $0 and apparently abandon the site.

Altcoins are the place where all the developers who have no significant career success and experience whatsoever, come and dump their inexperience and lunacy (delusional fantasies) on speculators who are too stupid to realize.

smooth has demonstrated to me that he has no capability whatsoever to analyse marketing, psychology, and economics design of consumer facing applications and websites. But I expected this, as I realized he only really understands back end servers for banks, which is apparently his career experience (although I admit I am guessing based on what he has shared publicly and privately, because he is anonymous).

Voat is instructive to those who want to learn about Internet marketing of new social networks. You can start to learn that the battleground between Reddit clones is all about the moderation+voting design, demographics, game theory (and aesthetics/features of discussion threads):

That is what matters to people who want to use a discussion site. Being bribed to participate has nothing to do with a viral adoption motivation. Duh!

Dan and Ned need to stick with anal, as they have no fucking clue what they are doing. They need to go work in the real world first and gain some relevant career experience.
