I was recruited by the whales everyone complains about. They seem to have realized I might be a key contributor and when I got $20K for a simple intro post, it make the power of steemit very personalized. What everybody that hasnt gotten a whalevoted post doesnt realize is that they can do many such recruitments, everyday.
Right now they are concentrating on the marketing types for the most part, but also deep content writers. Its almost as if they really know what they are doing :)
I think the incentives are already in place for good content writers to come onboard - there shouldn't be any difficulty in recruiting. Actually, if rewarding quality goes as intended, steemit won't need any recruitment (as far as content goes). It will work all by itself in the intended manner.
yes, so far, so good. https://steemit.com/steemit/@jl777/want-to-see-the-top-posts-in-last-24-hours-rank-calculated-by-minnow-1-dolphin-2-whale-3-megawhale-4 shows that all the complains about whales having too much influence does not have much validity. if anything minnows are not voting enough, maybe they feel their votes wont matter, but due to the sheer number of them, combined it would be quite significant.
Nice data gathering, thanks for pointing the article out otherwise I wouldn't see it.
Haha! That was funny!
It is a proven fact that I have no sense of humor
Not sure why but I thought that was hilarious :D
I remember getting almost 18 Steem Power curation reward for that intro post which was easily 4X anything I had seen before. :)
Question for you: why did you create so many accounts/bots? I saw so many, almost like a dictionary was used to create accounts with random nouns, all originating from your jl777. I hope they will be nice bots.
they are category placeholders, not for bots,but all my bots are nice bots anyway
Cool! Thanks for that explanation. Greatly appreciated.
Hurray for the nice bots. :)
