RE: This post is going to become the best paid post today!
Sorry, my post might be all wrong. Maybe only content creator should be rewarded and not investor or not in the same way. I'll leave it to that for now I guess. I have to think about this more.
Thanks for reply. I think people on Steemit should be rewarded for intellectual and artistic value they bring to humanity through their posts (I'm not talking about you btw), not for being able to make profits.
Every day I see hundreds of amazing posts, which get nothing just because those people have little Steem Power (can't afford buying Steem Power). All the votes just go to rich who get richer.
Sometimes, tiny minority of all these Steemit poor get lucky for one of their posts and some Steemit rich (whale) upvotes their post. You have to be very lucky, though.
I, myself got lucky once, yesterday, and got upvotes of 200 SD.
All it does, it just gives you an illusion of "Steem Dream" just like American Dream.
Ilusion that you can get somewhere from zero. Fact is that if you have no money, it is all about being incredibly lucky and being in good place at the right time! That's it.
Awesome! I'm so glad you have read them.
I agree with you those with more Steem Power can have an advantage but in the long run intelligent people will the those who gets the most reward on average!
I have been, actually trying to setup SteemWatch, you mentioned, but I need to set up Incoming Webhook through Steem Slack. I click on Steem Slack link there but I can't seem to be able to register atm as it says "Application Offline for Maintenance".
Btw, have you thought about making guide for activating this webhook. I don't think there is any proper guide there. I found this one but it doesn't give proper instructions, just copied screenshots. I could do it myself but I'm an awful writer. I just hate writing unless it is an expression of my opinion.
I agree with you, Steemit should be rewarded for intellectual and artistic value they bring to humanity through their posts, I quoting you. This is exact. I won't comment further right now. You're right that the influence of SP skew this fact but ultimately I think this will be overcome.
Also you violated the rule of not posting more than 4 times a day. Read my 3 part ultimate guide to steemit to learn how to better make use of Steemit. A bit about Steemit is the Prequel and the part 2 but you might what to read it before the part 1.
I know about the rule. I even posted about it in my first post today. Then I decided to break the rule as I wanted to test something - I posted few photos in steemitphotochallange to test Steemit again. It only proved what I expected. Non of people in that challenge who had low Steem Power received any worthy interest. Guys there had really nice photos, often much nicer than the ones from whales. Only photos posted by whales were upovted and valued. What is more ridiculous, is the fact that the whole challenge is sponsored by whales. So basically the whales sponsor each other and multiply their profits.
Btw, I read your guides already. Thanks, they are interesting.
You can get tons of votes with the bots. That is quite a consolation prize, donchathink?
