RE: Why free downvotes are a good and necessary part of STEEM

in #newsteem5 years ago

unfortunately, its a popularity contest.
guaranteed if i had written this EXACT SAME ARTICLE, word for word, it'd be a 30c post and not a $33 one.

and if id used a bidbot to make it more visible, someone would get upset with that and flag it
shrug

True, and unfortunately not avoidable to a certain extent. Steem related content by witnesses and developers is hugely overvalued in relation to everything else, as is a lot of stuff by popular users.
Networking and being active to develop for/market/explain steem are still keys to high payouts for now.
Good thing I get so many retaliation downvotes, or it'd be $60+ ;)
