If YOU... yes, YOU... had spent a year busting your butt on Steemit and developed a following of thousands,
I've been on Steemit for 13 or so months.....during that time I've gained 2,140 followers while I've made 16,287 posts and comments.
wouldn't you feel like you had "earned" those $100+ per post?
I wish...I typically 'earn' less than $3 per post.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Seems we're in a similar boat, in that respect... I'm about halfway to where you are, and one of the things I notice is how many "fractional" votes I get... "upvoted 0.03%"... it takes a lot of those to move things along.
yup...I'm wondering if those are bots?
I'm considering flaggin them.
Oh...about that .03%...
is that a vote or is that a reward?
if it's a reward then it's possibly from 'curation'...
Onest you get a vote slider you start getting curation rewards...they start off tiny and get bigger in direct proportion to your SP.
Onest you get a metric bunchaton of SP you can derive a purty gud income from just voting..
With 51.19 votes per post, you would do much better if every vote was worth just something as little as 25 cents. I just posted an article yesterday that proposes a change to the way we vote. I would love to get your opinion on my idea. I don't see any harm in making a good thing great, so constant improvement should not be discouraged. We need to talk about issues we see and together as a community attempt to solve problems and make things better. Many minds make great work.
I'll go have a look at your post....
Thanks!

gotcha.
you raise a LOT of points.
Let's take them one at a time.
The business model for example.
SP is a stake...similar to 'shares'(stock) in a corporation.
(discount the different types of share for simplicity)
In a corporation..the more (voting) shares you have..the more powerful your vote.
It seems to work fairly well...every corp. uses that model.
Exactly! But shareholders do not vote their own wages when they are employed by the corporation, do they? However that is what is happening here. Shareholders should be voting on what changes are to be implemented in the next hard or soft fork.

yes they do.
in an employee owned business (such as Steemit) that's EXACTLY what they do. The shareholders (the employees) set the wages.

we do.
it's called voting for witnesses..
OK, so just for clarification: Are you saying that it is OK to vote individually on your own wages? Or are you saying that wages should be voted on by ALL shareholders? There is a difference. I know what we are doing here on Steemit and I believe that is one of the issues we are facing. Is there any OTHER employee-owned business that runs that way? And I mean a large business, not a family-run business where everyone is co-operating.
Voting for a witness is like voting for a political leader. You have no idea what they do behind your back. In a corporation, you not only vote for the Board of Directors, you also get to vote on individual resolutions. And there is a method in place to submit your own resolutions. Nothing of the sort here. At least not that I know of, otherwise I would be submitting resolutions instead of writing articles.
