RE: SteemTipper is Taking Off! 🚀 Tip STEEM Easily and Safely on Twitter and Social Media Platforms with No Fees

in #steem6 years ago

I have a difficult time rationalizing this logic. Giving away wealth is quite different than upvoting or congratulating someone. Tipping is a form of bribery which often depends on the creation of guilt within a consumer. If something is worthy of receiving compensation it should be properly monetized rather than relying on the so called goodwill of the general public which would then classify it as a charity.

Sort:  

Well, and there's the rub; if I see something on one of those other media that I feel should be properly monetized and have no option to do so... this tool allows me to use a currency of my choice to interact in that system without forcing me into another payment system. So saying that an upvote is very different than giving away wealth, but also saying that you cannot rely on the goodwill of others lest it be charity... would that then the basis for believing that the only proper monetization on Steemit would be self-voting?

Self voting when no one else will. Works for me.

You are funny. Just be hopeful
