You can't knock someone for being a tit person and uninterested in the technical side of Steemit. this is fundamentally a social network platform, so it's kind of a given that there'll be a share of the cannabis, c-cup, cat lovers who are only really interested in coming together around those topics.
Don't get me wrong, I fully agree with you. But let's face it, people like those things and don't easily understand Steemit but are able to functionally use it, and are content with that.
I think those posters are important because it gives us an idea in the microcosm what the behaviors of Steemians will be in the macro full version.
I don't think the OP was having a go at ordinary steemers (who are dolphins and minnows) - of course they just vote for stuff they like or understand. He was making a point that all the $10k plus posts have whales including the developers voting them up (which is why they make so much). And those same people arn't voting security posts. It is a valid point.
Of course the whales may be not voting up security posts because they don't want to draw attention to them. But they could do an alternative method of payment, like simply transferring steem directly to whoever found the flaw.
Thanks, you understood it!
It most certainly a valid point, agreed. Somewhere in my Steem filled heart I gotta believe that, like you said, they aren't up voting security posts to avoid unwanted attention to holes they're working to plug up, but that they're also watching the boards to identify risks and concerns presented by Steemians. Probably a little romantic of me to think, but they seem so busy and invested And this thing keeps improving
"being a tit person and uninterested in the technical side of Steemit"
those who are both are the best ones. :3
true dat
But the masses aren't the one that affect rewards, whales do. And they should care
Golden words. but lets wait for alittle. and it will be better, i think.
This! Exactly what i was going to say.
