You know, Steemit offers a lot, it really does. I think there are real issues that will be hard to mitigate just because it is a decentralized system. Still, there are a lot of positive things about steemit and how it can be used by so many for "some" sort of income whether it be full time or not.
You are right, with the volatility of the crypto market, getting a predicable income will be touch because no matter how hard you push, if steem tanks, your income tanks. It has nothing to do with you content. That part sucks. My income should be based on my ability and not because a whale moved BTC down and that caused Steem to drop as well.
But that is a fact of the platform. I am here for the long haul because I do see the value but I don't turn a blind eye either. There are issues, real issues but we will just have to see how things unfold.
I agree to this but we're far from a balanced economics here. I'm sure the code for a reward system like this would be 10x more complex than what we have. Might take a while a plenty of tweaks for this place to get better.
Hopefully we'll get there sooner than later.
