People don't care about your business. They care about their problems. Be the solution that they're looking for. - Melonie Dodaro
Also content consumers don't care about your blogging success, they try to fulfill their own needs.
That perspective brought me to a new idea I'd like to present you in my today's vlog.

I have always been against automatic vote, if you really build relationships with other users, it implies the reading of their materials and live comments on the subject.
But, I understand that it's hard to find free time for this (every day follow updates of friends and participate in discussions). And auto-vote in a sense is an opportunity to say Hello, to express respect for your relationship. Accordingly, if you withdrew from somebody list you have lost the interest of this person to you. So your actions in this case are absolutely correct.
My opinion is that you should talk about whatever you like and you're good at.
If you're good at something, and be yourself, people are going to recognize that and come to you and listen.
I can say that most of people I follow do it that way.
By the way, don't do vlog when driving a car, xd.
I worry about your safety.
I saw that. But you understand the argument you're not paying full due care and attention to your driving if you're blabbing on about something you consider to be impressive (whilst in control of a moving motor vehicle)? We all make risk assessments countless times each day. If you kill someone whilst driving, you and others will have to deal with it. Kill / maim just yourself? Well, you obviously seem to be okay with that. My concerns are primarily with those 'others', naturally.
Spare a thought too for the impressionable people who look up to you? You are a whale, after all! Maybe you are the ultimate driver but maybe others who are not will choose to try emulate their idol, inadvisably? Ask yourself: Does it improve your driving safety? Is it essential for your job (you don't look to be a cop or a robber)? Are you so selfish you're happy to continue having answered no to the two previous questions?
Please tell me, you're not driving right now. :) And people driving on youtube with their fancy hands-free kits doesn't really make it any more right, does it?
Well I just saw your Vlog for the first time indeed :) and i am really impressed by your thoughts that you want the opinion of the Masses/consumers that what they actually like. I think this is very great technique to attract the consumers towards this @surfermarly
Lolx Driving in this city is like an adventure that line actually made me laugh abruptly :D :D :D
By the way Great Idea, Great Initiative
My Support is always with you
Stay Blessed, Steem On!
> Let’s talk about what needs to be done to improve Steemit, Dtube, etc... to make things more honoust and fair and attract more users!
Actually I don't think that we should focus on attracting more users rather than trying to improve the user retention. We've got 600,000 registered users but only a bit more than 300,000 (50%) are active users. There's still a LOT unused potential.
I've repeatedly wrote about these topics in the past, and I'll definitely do it in the future as well :-)
Have you joined the discord channels already?
There's a @dtube chat where you can address (technical) questions like that. I'm pretty sure the developers will be happy to help. If you don't have received an invitation to the server yet, just drop me a message at steemit.chat and I send you an invitation link :-)
Regarding "driving and talking": I really didn't expect this to become an issue here. What about free-hands car kits that are used for GPS systems, touchpads, phones, etc. My GoPro is fixed and I control it via voice control, so there is zero interference in my driving... But anyways, I learned that I won't ever publish vlogs from a car anymore - not because I don't want to do it, but because of the community's preoccupation :-)
