Steemit is an incredible platform which is constantly evolving and bringing more people together. I find myself using it more and more and, as a keen user, I feel obliged to post about anything I feel would enhance Steemit, whether it be a good article or something that will inprove the platform.
I think Steemit would benefit greatly from something that alerted users to the current level of traffic, both on the overall platform AND across your connections - your followers and those you are following.
What it might look like
I've put together a very rough illustration of what I am referring to. Something like a window on your homepage that contained the information in the table below. The level of traffic could be indicated using a traffic light colour scheme or something to that effect.
What are the benefits
One of the key purposes of Steemit is to share interesting articles and discussions with other people. If there was a way of maximising that "reach", wouldn't that be a positive development?
A simple feature like the one I'm proposing would allow users to reach more of there followers and improve the efficiency of the Steemit objective (in my opinion). What I'm proposing is just a bit more transparency for the benefit of the community. I'd love to hear feedback from the community and @teamsteem
Thank you for reading.
