People who post one photo and get $100 fall into one of a few categories
- abusing bots with no effort content
- big loyal following
- circle jerk vote club
- popular meme
- self-voting with a lot of power
- Zappl post (think Twitter tweets but for Steemit)
I never like to judge someone off one post, I will always look at their blog and see what their norm is before passing judgment.
I don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but I had a question about number 5. I'm new and self-voting was just the default on my posts, so I left it alone. Should I uncheck that? Is it considered bad etiquette? Thanks in advance!
That’s something I’ve been planning on writing an entire post about.
It is defaulted to on and is generally considered tolerable for new users to do but as you get larger it is frowned upon. But on the other hand, it is your stake to use as you see fit.
It’s the age old debate here.
I see that makes sense. Thank you very much!
Judging people on their overall average rather than a single success is a good choice. There are some posts out there that many might not see any value in but others do and we should accept that as well to a certain extend :)
