"Allowing people to depend on income is a bad vision for the platform."
The whole platform is based on the idea of getting income for your posts, so I'm not sure I understand this sentiment. That said, I obviously don't depend on steem as my main source of income – I have a decent-paying daytime job, which I'm certainly not going to quit over some social media platform.
"You guys seem more pissed of that you didn't make much on Steemit, think about this way you got some Views and upvotes."
Nope. Re-read what I wrote. I understood that the payouts were drastically reduced after the hard fork, but I posted anyway.
What I'm pissed about is PEOPLE FLAGGING ME FOR NO GOOD REASON. Or rather, for some dumbass internal political bullshit. Yes, it reduced my payout, but I wasn't expecting a huge payout anyway.
If someone wants to flag my post because they legitimately dislike what I'm doing, so be it. But this automated flagging bullshit is going to drive people away – including the casual reddit-type users you want to engage.
Yeah man, i totally agree with you when it comes to the Flagging @caweyant. I also didn't want come off as rude by saying you should actually expect to make an income from Steemit. Maybe the approach of using this platform is to gain a following! Where you can earn Rewards, this exactly what we trying to get from existing Social Media withouth the Reward Part! We still have a small market, maybe there will me more Whales in the Future that will upvote you! or worse more Whales to downvote you. I hope this project works out, some wealth will definitely spread around! For those living on 1$ a day, any cent would help them through the day. I been a victim of Flags, i also got pretty much pissed off but end of the day, you dont have to invest a single cent, you dont have to post or comment but you can always enjoy the free content. If there is no quality content for you on this platform, give it time and in 5 years or so when we actually have 1million and over... you can expect some sort of free entertainment! We all have good intention with this site, and it's truly of the kind that is possible because Blockchain Technology in the first place! Hoping for the Best, i hope you give us a try. Warn us other that this system is not yet fair and explain to them why! Like Automated Flagging and how Steem Power makes things unbalanced, but also mention the parts you might have liked. Like it being free to join & use or perhaps the possibility of earning some rewards.
and heyy.. Steem you know, uses graphine blockchain. You can send someone Steem Instantly & Free, no blockchain can compete with that... like DASH, Ethereum & Bitcoin. I feel the good outweight the bad! Steem price was already overvalued in the beginning! it has since struggled ! So Whales are hurt the most
