RE: Testing the system if I can already post nothing and still get paid

in #steemit7 years ago

Yes I have noticed, they say steemit is about contributing value, however some of the highest paid posts I come across are pretty much everything except inherent of true value. Like Oscar Wilde said "People know all about the price of things but nothing about their value." And some things never change. I dared to look into a post by this sweet jassie girl and I was shocked. But apparently this is what people like. So, chances of you making lots of money with shit content are pretty high! Cheers!

So true! Whenever we get money, we forget anything about the value. I have heard that those sweet jassie girl posts might even be plagiarism (or at least it used to be) but that is just rumors. To be honest, it doesn't change much. I would disagree with "that's what people like" part. No one reads that stuff, everyone upvotes because it is beneficial to them all. Who cares about the quality, huh? Cheers!

Yes, you might be right, people don't vote because they like it but rather because they want to get a piece of the pie. Her posts are really commercial promotion for these fancy hotels and who knows who really writes those, she is probably just the pretty face on the cover.
