It's really no different than selling something for cheap with the hopes of making higher profit in bulk sales. The gourmet restaurant sells hamburgers for $20. They have fewer consumers and make less money than Mcdonalds, who sells their product for the lowest possible price.
I'm a content producer. I'd rather take a smaller percentage of potentially thousands of votes, than a larger percentage of practically nothing, because a large percentage of nothing, is nothing. Nothing is nearly where I'm at today. After nearly three years, there's no more ladder to climb, it's been downhill.
Agreed, I've been some form of a content creator on STEEM for about 3 years myself, but I recognize my niche has limited appeal, but it's what I'm passionate about. Seeing the content creators with much broader appeal all start exiting en masse should have been a wake up call, but it's taken almost 2 years of this shit to face the music. Hopefully PALnet can help and hopefully more economic models keep coming.
Me not can math. How put what?
If it doesn't work, we all just leave, and these goofs who thought it was wise to act selfishly for so long can sit there with their thumbs up their asses and a wallets full of useless tokens.
