You should probably read the steem whitepaper before making conclusions, @nathanmars ;-)
Steem is not the perfect system yet and will not be for a while. Incentive methods are still being tested and pros and cons being evaluated. Still, curation in STEEM should improve even further with GPT's - where upvotes/ downvotes have greater effect than votes gotten from advertising.
Don’t justify it man, listen to me, you know deep down you’re buying votes and audiences.
And allowing middle mans to get more Steem power. Middle mans don’t contribute anything to the Steemit ecosystem.
These post promoters are similar to the bankers who made the financial crisis happen in 2008 by negatively affecting billions of people’s life around the world and they still get their fat arse bonuses. And we created Bitcoin to take the power away from the bankers and those greedy bastards.
Now they’re coming to Steemit with wearing different uniforms and they want to control us. You’re not them, but you’re letting them in and take the power from the people.
Karma is a bitch and it’ll come at get you wherever you’re.
Don’t hide. Stand up for your rights and fight for people and fight for good system that benefit all of us.
If you just want to make money please go and make it some where else. Dan created Steemit and it’s up to us the good Steemians will make Steemit great !
We don’t need people who feed the greedy bankers in the expenses of innocent people
They can't buy votes unless someone sells votes. Also isn't advertising basically buying an audience?
Yes I’m fine with buying audiences to announce a Steem application updates etc. For example today trending page’s eSteem app updates and I commented to support steemit community.
Basically I’m happy with buying votes to promote good things and I’ll be one of the person there to upvote 100%
You know what, My sister used to live in a council house when she actually had the ability to earn decent income in her own to rent a decent house. However she decided to use other people’s tax money funded council house. I told her to the face what you’re doing is very wrong and the system was build for unfortunate people who doesn’t have the means to earn the money to rent a house and the system is their to protect them. Anyway I don’t like my own sister that much because of what she did.
I don’t want to associate with people who abuse the system whether they poor or rich. And it’s not the right thing to do. Those people might think they’re smart and they never will be able to enjoy life to the fullest. I want to live a meaningful life and I don’t want to get the blame for my grand dad killing thousands of people.
I’ll take full responsibility for my own actions and I know how to get rich and live a happy life by not abusing others and system in place.
I’m getting better human by every FUCKING day and I hope human race can move positively forward:)
First
Let me just clarify something - I'm not actually blogging to make money, I do it because I enjoy writing, and if people didn't like my work, I would immediately stop (no point!).
Second
I'd like you to see some of the thoughts I have regarding steemit's ranking algorithm - as I said, it's currently not perfect.
As you can see, I'm in the chats wondering/ suggesting how we - me, you, everyone can make it better.
Finally
If you are interested in a genuine discussion, check this article and tell me how STEEM becomes valuable without advertising - then we can have a proper chat.
As I see it, STEEM needs to balance both advertising and super linear rewards in order to get good content to the top.
If you have a better idea, @nathanmars, or counterpoint - then let's hear it, man!!
First of all I appreciate you time and energy for engaging with criticism from your fellow Steemian.
First - I’m happy to hear you love writing and you agreed you’re not blogging to make money and I believe it’s true.
Me - I’m here to do what I can in my own power to make this platform beneficial for billions of people around the world and make sure the new steem citizens respect others and the wonderful community and the they don’t abuse the system for their own financial benefit.
Because some people say to me all the time and they’re making the world a better place. Let me tell you, world is much better Place and Without humans. Very few people in power makes this world filled with war and corruption, etc
And I don’t want the power to end of in the wrong people. Yes I’m here to make my billions dollars so that I’ll have the power to do good things for others.
I love my money so much and I want to be billionaire and it’s already written in the stars for me. And I’m going to use that money to make positive impact in the good people’s life. And my life is short so yours.
Do your thing bro and I’ll do mine. Respect
I hope you’re good person and continue to be a wonderful person.
I apologise for what I said and I’m extremely sorry if I make your feel bad. I’m so happy that I can what I want within Steemit and I love my freedom to express my feelings. And it’s your freedom to listen to me.
I love helping people and I’ll continue to help them and I’m greedy to make more money even more greedier to help more and more people.
Thanks for reading and Enjoy writing on Steemit.
One advise take it onboard if you agree otherwise ignore “ If you do quality work and you maintain direct relationship with your audiences and they’ll follow you wherever you go, Steemit might not be here tomorrow but your audiences want to read what you write and they want to feel you appreciate them”
Peace out :)
Steem has advertising under the promotion area (under utilized).
And don’t blame Steemit perfection blame your unperfections.
