RE: Bluffer's Guide To Hive - The Rewards Pool, Post Payouts, Upvotes & Downvotes
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
One of the things I've noticed is people who think they can take short cuts or have some kind of immunity.
This is probably controversial, but
An over rewarded post is still an over rewarded post regardless of the cause. I don't care if the money is going to your beer fund or something 'more important'. Steem is not a charity.
Your previous history doesn't matter. This isn't a membership club or subscription service. I don't care who you are, you have no right to post crap and say stuff like well I normally post great stuff.
Steem is not an occupation and you have no right to collect ROI anymore than anyone else. If you think differently try to get a job with Steemit, or better yet start a proposal, let's see what everyone thinks.
I'm also beginning to have second doubts with all these vote trading and vote-buying schemes that have been flying under the radar. I like and use some of them, but the lines between subscribing for bids and buying them a la carte is blurry. The same goes for small bids. I've noticed a lot of junk in the sub 3 dollar range that doesn't seem to attract much attention but 90% of the value is vote buying/trading and there is 0 engagement because the content frankly sucks and the effort (or complete lack thereof ) shows.
Sorry for ranting. In my opinion, if you don't want to create decent content delegate.
@abitcoinskeptic hey mate, hope it's all good your end!
Yes I know what you mean about posts and rewards and I think we are from the same school of thought there. Unfortunately, not everyone is this objective and don't see post rewards the same way. It's like a belief of a right of passage - "I've bought steem so I'm entitled to have more post rewards". Sorry pal, you don't get to decide that.
I did want to put something in about self-voting too but I haven't done it for as long as I can remember, maybe a year. That's another contentious issue. Sure, we all think our own work is great but it's not up to us really to decide it's monetary value. It's like taking money out of your own bank account and then putting it back in again.
You make a good point with regard to even low bids that go under the radar buy I think it will only be a matter of time before those get curbed as well.
Thanks for stopping by and providing some interesting insights as well. Great rant 😀
