RE: Are we all still here yet?
So, give some advice to this brand new steem user right here please....
I saw jerry banfield talk about steem on youtube when researching cryptocurrency and its' future. He hyped Steemit up real good on the video, so i thought id give it a go.
Its been four hours since my account was approved. Just for shits, I posted a couple things to see what would happen.
I'm now looking around and reading comments. Came across yours right here, and the wind died in my sails about steem.
Could you save me the time by laying it all out in your experience of steem?
Im starting to think jerry banfield is just a tool who gets paid to promote anything and the promoters help him, so everyone thinks, "if he can do it, so can I..."
Is this whole site just a big bag of Steam that isnt really going anywhere?
Im still trying to wrap my head around where the actual real money comes from to pay everybody ...
Thanks.
Jerry certainly backed up his talk on here with support and he isn't the issue.
Since the last hard fork there have been anomalies with the payout structure that has made it significantly less profitable for the small users like us.
As I pointed out above, a post with 200 votes in the past would have received significantly more for the poster than 60 cents.
The problem? too many bots.
You had to wait for verification of your account but it seems some are creating bulk accounts and scamming the system.They don't come on here to post anything constructive or worthwhile they just sell upvotes.
Keep at it and work up the ladder. I live in hopes it will be corrected once those that have money and don't give a shit notice the problems of us tiny folk.
