RE: WHY ARE SOME OF STEEMIT BEST WRITERS LEAVING? ARE YOU FEELING IGNORED? WHAT CAN WE DO TO INCREASE RETENTION OF CREATIVE WRITERS? DO WE HAVE ROOM FOR SIMPLE SOCIAL POSTS? HOW CAN WE BALANCE BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE CONTENT?

A new system would need to be created to address this problem. Using the attention economy is a start. We need to start measuring engagement and reward that. I am really feeling shitty after one of my posts got 361 upvotes and 234 comments. Guess what the payout was? $21. This is insane since right now Steemit is going downhill fast, and you would think that generating massive and i mean MASSIVE ENGAGEMENT would be rewarded. But, no, I am controversial now since I have the habit of uncovering inconvenient truths, and some whales are that stupid, too fucking greedy to see how they are harming everyone by their stupid voting bots. I mean come on...............It's getting too obvious......Your comment says it all actually.

I think they are moving towards paying for attention and engagement but it Is taking so long. It will get Interesting if any competitors are better able to pay for attention. That might be needed to spur more rapid change here.
