This is why Steemit is going to be a force to be reckoned with!
We are having a pretty high-level conversation on the morality of reward allocations and their impact on a project that may become a major part of the human experience.
Now, we are having this conversation at my house instead of your house. And there's a lot of people watching us... and listening.
And we are both articulate. Sensitive. Producing quality content that raises questions, gets the blood moving and pushes boundaries.
So we have transitioned from boobs to brains... very successfully and in a very short time. My house is now full of good people debating an important issue in a constructive way. And it's benefiting the community, as this issue is bothering a lot of people who are trying really hard to be recognized for their work.
You're right and I'd love to see this economy bootstrapped with quality content. But my God, look at what's trending on the front page right this minute. It's a damn shame.
A picture of some pot is the top post on all of Steemit and has a pending payout of almost $4k. Upvoted by most of the big whales. Next up is an 'attractive young female' that wrote out her packing list for a hiking trip. Yeah. $8500.
I'm not supporting what is happening. I've invested more time and effort into this post/comments than the top 10 trending posts combined. I wish my intro post got more than $0.06 . I wrote 11 posts that paid $15. In total.
I'm explaining what is being done, why it's being done, why it will work and why everyone will be happier when it's done.
I'll upvote you :)
I know where you are coming from, I've put some actual effort into posts that go nowhere, and I've posted links to other peoples youtube videos and/or "reposts" from other sites and they've actually done better in the votes and comments range...
Why thank you! I know where you're coming from too. Which makes a lot sense, actually.
