Re: Steemit how can this stupid shit be workable long term?

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.

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.

That's a good point. You can see it already in the comments, there is no discussions going. Most thread are literally ghost towns. Only the mafia approved thread gets a bit of conversation.
