Well the fact rests, the community generally believed that there was a ton of promoted stories because, you guys never told anyone otherwise or did a poor job communicating.
And im certain promoted stories did exist, I remember them clearly marked as that.
Not really though, everyone knew that V4 was a terrible idea and they simply went forward without caring much for the community. I mean what kind of marketing research could you do to prove that using promoted stories is a good way to build a community?
As part of my internship, I've been writing blog posts for Growlab, a startup accelerator out of Vancouver. I'm trying to create more interesting content, beyond the likes of news which is happening in the office. If you guys can provide me with some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated.
I think the context of this is related to working on "fun" problems though. If you're at work, getting paid and not working, you'll get fired. Working in a startup is much different.
This is a blog post for the startup I work for. I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it. Thank you.
