I used to spend about $30 a day promoting my website with Google and others but right now I think it is illegal for me to spend 1.5 cents worth of Steem a day to promote my blog.
There is a difference you know?...you spend thirty bucks a day to promote a website that other people use independent funds linked only to themselves to subscribe, follow, donate. Here that money comes out of linked pockets as in the way of rewards pool distribution. In essence you are taking their money as profit whether they'd follow you or not. So there is that to consider in comparison. As with most hard folks people just end up picking up the pieces and moving on as best they can. Maybe you weren't milking the system like most were doing but like they say it's always the bad apples that wreck it for the bunch.
Oh wow you're with them now. :(
Hopefully I can get rid of me Steem and advertise on Steemleo.
I support freedom and allowing investors to use their stake as they please.
This is great for the whales. It helps keep more of the rewards under control. Since I'm not a whale I "think" I need to convert to Leo.
Have you done the math on your "fair share"? The inflation rate is like 9% or less a year I think.
Okay then, propose a system that allows people to get votes by paying whales but the payment comes out of the pocket of the whale and not the rewards pool, as any other method like the one we had means you had the means and disposal steem to "take" other investors money.
What was happening is like a bank saying to you if you give us some money we'll give you a higher return on interest earned off the top of all interest earned that is dispersed to all the other customers. Meaning they'll scrape out over and above what'd you get normally before dispersing the rest of the pot to everyone.
How hard is that to understand? You are robbing others to enrich yourself.
It wasn't a bad thing if it had been controlled better but the fact is people were raking in several hundred dollars....you definitely weren't the worse offender, probably more of an example of how it should have went but most people weren't using any disciplinary means and were going for a huge chunk of the pie just because they could.
I think the bot system was a good system but I guess the tribes might even be better. Now we can all move to a platform like Steemleo.com and let the whales hoard the precious Steem. Maybe they can sell it to each other? lol
I made like 2 or 3 cents per post. Maybe it would have been 3 or 4 cents if I hadn't done delegations.
