I noticed good content making no money ( nothing personal, but if you like the ones I try in, upvote and resteem). I see that the payouts for smaller user are not like they once where, and I have not been on the site for long, I noticed the price of Steem has gone up. I also noticed how with Bitcoin faucets, they payouts got smaller as the token increased in value. I see the same thing happening here. It will be harder and take longer and it is more rewarding to hold the currency,
With everything being $0.01 its tempting to not just put random stuff up. And each vote makes money so I might comment on your stuff. I have lost my funds forever and never attempted to contact any entity, its just a part of the game. I am not saying this like some of the people who deleted their accounts or treated to ( make money). I am saying these things because I'm looking at, can I make money with this thing? And is this for everyone? But I should have come to that conclusion when they had to accept me on the site. One thing that proves my point of it getting harder is that, you cannot loose you password to stuff. You cannot loose your files or data i.e keys and phrases. You can loose your money easily, but its not like you will ever loose it at a hostage situation. I think everyone can agree that is how it works and this is how it will work. Honestly I just want to see how this all plays out.
Ya... you know the reason.
I feel what you're saying but I think people need to focus on creating really good exceptional quality content and really talking about issues that matter to them instead of worrying about the money
It's the fact that it feels like a point system for everyone. It is set up like that and it works like that if it isn't. There are like on other post, so alot of people who do try hours post and then get no reward have taken the easy way out. If good content is the solution writers and bloggers would do better. ( I feel) That this makes people feel not apart of this site when they interact and they did not get the expected reaction.
