The AA's, BB's, CC's, DD's of Steem. What Type of Steemian Are You?

Asked by stuffbyspencer Promote - View in Hive.blog - Audit

> After thinking about all the ways various people come and experience the Steem blockchain, it got me thinking. You can basically define these different types of behaviors into 4 distinct categories. And, being the alliteration-admirer that I am, I decided to group them under a simple mnemonic system.

The AA's, BB's, CC's, and DD's:

  • AA
    • Awesome Advocate
  • BB
    • Blockchain Buddy
  • CC
    • Content Creator
  • DD
    • *Dapp Developer

AA: Awesome Advocate

This type of Steemian is constantly spreading awareness about Steem and the various dapps that exist on it. They take to Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, their Mom & Dad, Brothers & Sisters, even their pets, and spread the word.

They don't spam, per say, but they are relentless when it comes to advertising this great platform. These are our marketing department. Our grassroots movement marketers!

BB: Blockchain Buddy

These are the people who reside more on chain then off. So, while they don't spread the word so much on outside sources, they do often help out those who have migrated here from said sources.

They are quick to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. They've been known as a go-to resource for anything you need. Before you even have time to type out "What's the best game to play right now?", they are telling you about the latest & greatest Steem dapp that you should totally play.

These people are our HR department. Our humble & readily available human resources. Volunteers making newbies feel more comfortable & welcomed.

CC: Content Creator

These are the bloggers, writers, photographers, singers, the list goes on! Anyone who creates content for other Steemians to engage & consume. These people usually don't do it for the rewards [ although they're an awesome bonus ;^) ], they create because it's what makes them happy. They create not because they should do, but because they need to.

These are our... Well, content creators. There's really not a better metaphor for them here. They provide the stuff that makes this chain & this community what it is. They make it home.

DD: Dapp Developers

Last, but hopefully not least, we got the developers. Shout-out to my fellow devs out there!

These are the ladies & gentlemen that are spending sleepless nights, and burning through pounds of coffee, to make the blockchain fun, exciting, and usefull.

Feel free to ignore the word "Dapp" in this title, no one really gives a shit what that specifically means right now. The true point of the DD Steemians is to put their programming-magic to work and make something for other Steemians. Games, frontends, tools, what have you!

These are our software department. Our friendly & caring IT department. Our code-monkeys [ who we feed plenty of bananas to 🐒 🍌 ].


Well, there you have it, the four types of Steemians.

I think keeping these categories in mind can help in establishing what you want to be, and what you're looking to get out of this platform.

NOTE: You can, of course, fall under multiple categories. The CC & DD group often intertwine. Same goes for AA & BB. Also, feel free to bounce from one group to the next from week to week. THIS IS 2019 DECENTRALIZED BABY, AIN'T NO ONE STOPPING YOUR MADNESS NO MORE!


What do you think? Which type of Steemian are you? Which group do you mostly fall under / see yourself as?
