Using up-voting bots makes STEEM stay $3 @ forever my friend.
No newbies want to buy even a small amount of STEEM
If you want $100 STEEM then, you must give some rewards for new steemians. If not STEEM will go to $0
If you want to win, we win together or newbies will go where they get reasonable reward for their contribution.
Time to decide my friend
I would be happy to know where will be people going to get reasonable reward for their contribution?... LOL... Facebook?, Reddit?, Twitter?, Youtube?...
There is no competition to steemit right know, this is the only platform that will give you some reward for posting, even if you are a newbie... Other business models requires a lot more of work and investment to get some little reward...
Yes, self voting is ugly, but sometimes i think we should stop wining about it... In real life, people who have a lot of money will use that money to get self benefit, this is not different here...
Yes I 100% agree.
Humans are just too greedy wherever they go.
There are competitors.. Check out Primas, moving out of open beta and coming online this week. It's like Medium quality content with a community incentive system like steemit but more fair and without the centralisation.
built on ethereum...it is junk already
LOL I like your comment. You should self upvote that one! My votes are below the payout threshold.
Maybe a competitor will launch on EOS but I've heard of no real competitors now. I think minds or something has a token but you can't trade it so what good is that.
Can move between public chains
100% capacity and backed up 43k transaction... you can take a nice nap while it "moves between chains". And this is supposed to be a competitor? come on. golos runs circles around that project...lol

I guess i messed up when i sought for an upvote on steemchat.
Well don't blame me, i was desperate for upvotes and didn't think much about building friendship and forming alliances.
Can you perhaps give me a second chance by unblocking the chat section you closed between you and I? Sorry.
hey @nathanmars, this is exactly what we are doing with #comedyopenmic / @comedyopenmic we have given out ~1000 SBD and ~270 Steem and attracted total paid-out of >$15,000 worth in upvotes and prizes since we started (data from SteemSQL) all without bot votes, so 100% profits for original comedy content producer.... come checkout what we're doing and see if we can help bring Steem to >$10.
This world has more serious problems to be solved than supporting comedy content producers.
You can do what you want with very limited time given to you.
Please don’t judge me and I won’t judge you. Let it be wonderful :)
not judging at all, in fact, I'm in agreement with you.
as for world problems, well, we're current focus on the world of Steem and obviously you are a serious Steem investor so I thought it would interest you to know that comedy has been the biggest retainer of all social sites
why do you the subreddit s/funny is the biggest sub-reddit with 50million members?
or why facebroke and dubetube consistently run funny videos and content randomly into their users stream to keep them engage and coming back?
our goal is to bring authentic comedy content creators and enthusiast into the blockchain, we're just starting with Steem first, and hopefully bring up the value of your wallet.
Here's a quick vision snapshot of the next 12months:
mid term vision 1.5-2 years.
we're a community volunteer based account growing on the graces of Steemian large and small, if what we're doing isn't part of the solution, we would not be currently trending as one of the tags with the highest average paid upvotes....no kidding, go click on the link and see for yourself.
they say laughter is the best medicine.... maybe laughter is also good financial medicine for blockchain technology, especially for the likes of social media blockchains like Steem, don't you think?
Yes I agree laughter is best medicine.
There are thousands of people are dying of unnecessary wars. So what I’m doing is kind of more meaningful to me and I come from a place where thousands of people killed by internal war. At least in my own view.
I 100% believe that you’ve your own argument for doing what you’re doing is meaningful to you.
If I meant to rethink about you then I’ll :)
Peace

Steemit gives a lot of rewards to newcomers (unlike other social networks).
The price of STEEM will increase if Steemit develops if readers (unregistered users) and followers will find quality and original authoring content they will not find elsewhere on the Internet. If the Steemians will accumulate STEEM Power and they will take care of the growth and development of the entire community and platform.
Steem On!
Yes I agree with some of your points.
However you can't deny how many self serving steemians are here.
"Some Steemians are not taking a day off from getting their rewards unfairly. Why should I take a day off from making it better for most people including new ones"
I understand.
However, I myself will rather not publish anything if it should only be for reward. I prefer to publish only what I enjoy myself and in what I can see at least of some value.
Thanks for understanding my friend.
You seems like good steem citizen like many others.
There’re few bad Steem citizens and we’re many good steem citizens and first they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us , then we will win.
Let’s keep up fighting:)
I believe that those who are here for easy earnings at any cost will quickly drop off. Only those who care about the community and the platform will remain here.
100% agree!
Yes sir
Lets keep fighting until we win
Yes this fight is worth it!
When steem price reach higher price ($100), there will be so many people will have financial freedom around the world.
Yes you are right sir
I really believe in steemit as I have seen it impact in full months here
Steem at $100, I can reach out to over 100,000 Nigerian with quality content and value who will make a living here.
Right, look at the last six months or so and not two years. The picture isn't as pretty. The cheer squad is standing on a pile of dead plankton. These sorts of posts start to smell when they're not backed up by an improvements in the platform and awful content quality.
As we speak, there are Blockchain developers are working hard to make Steemit a better platform and as a user we also should do something for the community to remove or notify people who are creating awful content.
Also Steemit is a like an ocean and there room for everyone to swim
We'll just have to agree to disagree. I spent quite a bit of time here, but I've pretty much given up except for a few things here and there. I find it much more fruitful to spend time developing my following on Reddit or Quora, which are also a lot more fun for me. No, you don't get paid to post on those sites, but you can organically gain a following that will gain you eyeballs for projects you do monetize. Certainly, a few people find a way to do that here. A bunch of people I followed because I liked their content six months ago have thrown up their virtual hands and vanished.
Do the work you enjoy and do it where it like the most.
May be Steemit not for you.
Most important thing is that you’ve tried and failed. Life is an experiment too.
I think this guy should post photos of girls with big boobs instead of muscled men
At least you know what you want for yourself. Good luck with you and your dream big boob girls. lol
That social media network would be Sola.ai , if you not there already. Cats, boobs and butts are pretty much it over there.
Blasphemy you don't like the Arnold!!
hey it's me, the new steemian.
Welcome to the Steem world:)))
