Facebook and youtube will be assimilated long live the steemitborg
Seriously some things need to change on steemit for a global site to emerge taking over the big 3 of facebook youtube and twitter.
The whales holding 98% of the steemit wealth and the plankton minnow holding .01% of the wealth and only able to earn a couple of cents per post won't work. Check out the churn rate of steemit. If you don't encourage people to stay they will drift back to where they came from.
I'm not sure in what way things can change but since HF19 its really not worth posting or commenting on most posts. Maybe going from 20 votes a day to 10 votes a day didn't help. Maybe a slider for everyone would encourage more votes.. We'll just have to see what HF20 brings
Maybe only let people self vote on their original post and not comments or try and stop people voting on their second third fourth or fifth account... or even maybe their 50th account. When people see unfairness they just move away
Just my 2 cents worth
I agree with your two cents. Steemit requires tons and tons and tons of improvement to take out the big competition. Right now the distribution of posts is terrible.
However, I don't think there is no money. There is tons of money and it goes into the right direction as well just not enough. You say that 98% hold the Steemit wealth. I say that is not so bad. These people usually have invested into Steemit and hold a financial share of Steem. You cannot take that away or you are suggesting Socialism and expropriation of property.
The key is better distribution so the whales will find your articles. If you think that whale have no interest in upvoting quality post than you don't see their perspective at all. They might be rich today. But they will be filthy rich when Steem takes off and that only happens when the platform is healthy and happy.
So it is easy to feel frustrated because things are not working out for you and others. But that is because things need to be developed and change over time. Blockchain technology is very slow to change and it is only one year old. BitCoin is already 6 years old and changes 20 slower than Steem. So I think we are on a good way and EVERYBODY putting in the time and effort to find recognition WILL FIND RECOGNITION. The thing is that 99% of all users don't have the time nor the motivation to go that deep. And it will always be that way, even with fairer distribution.
