mining wasnt even the new mining. but k get the ref.
That said, it kind of is like a lottery, right? We all buy tickets to fund whats allegedly a public service , like a hospital or a $20K intro post or some dude saying "before i found steemit i couldnt afford underpants now im rich buy steem". And in return we get a miniscule chance to get a big jackpot.
maybe at first that is what it is, but as the userbase grows it will need speciality content and we are already seeing some of that, ie https://steemit.com/trending/science No nobelprize winning papers (yet), but I wouldnt be surprised if in the future serious papers are posted on steemit. I mean why not? it pays better than most other places even at $10 a post
how old is steemit? What percentage of its evolution have we seen? Sure it isnt perfect but I dont see anything else that is anywhere close, that is why I am here trying to improve it.
tl:dr babies do silly things, but that doesnt mean they cant create serious work given time
Pick a position. Either the system works OK now, which was your original point that i replied to, or its an evolving crying baby and itll be better one day.
And the user base won't grow, at least not the paid userbase. Because a dozen or so people like the op have the system locked into a liquidity trap, and TPTB are so committed to it at this point that they refuse to back out on principle.
And if its an evolving crying baby, isnt it harmful to say "everyone who wants it to evolve is just a jealous, greedy idiot (OPs exact point in this and other posts).
Also, im not sure what im supposed to be looking at in science. I see one popst by gavvet (who runs a little cottage industry where he charges authors to post their posts because they know that he has a better chance of getting upvotes with the same content) thats a picture of some rocks. And one post that s a summary of some magazine articles written last year.
lotto as in SHA256 hashing when mining, since blogging is the new mining
