RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
Yep, it's a lot of time and effort for sure, and a prize well deserved.
For most of the top 20, the prize pays more than a weeks worth of self-votes - certainly on posts alone. I wonder how many would keep this approach if there were no prizes?
Cheers Niall!
No worries. Everything on here worth doing takes time and effort and the people who have realized that tend to be the ones who are doing well. They are in it for the long haul.
It would be an interesting social experiment to see how people would vote without the rewards as we know that incentives work. I think that if a person had been conditioned for long enough not to do it then they would more than likely not restart self - voting. However a person that had only just stopped in order to try and win the steem would probably go straight back to it. Mindset is hugely important for anything and it takes a lot of hard work and effort to change a persons mindset on anything. Especially when there are money or rewards involved.
That applies to the world in general but we do have a lot of well intentioned people on the site so maybe the result would be different on steemit to a business of some sort....????
