RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #10 - COMICS X STEEM
Thought bubble indeed. Very well written, and although I don't follow these comics, I know most of the names. Your expert analysis and correlation skills put it all together for me.
I may occasionally look at the trending pages of specific tags I like - perhaps story or writing, but even then walk away disappointed. Unfortunately smaller votes often follow the bigger votes, and its these bigger votes - the whales, and larger dolphins - that put and keep these people there. It always makes me wonder why these people don't just lower their votes percentage and make more votes. Curation rewards, I suppose.
But this repetitive voting and same same attitude is the Achilles Heel of Steemit. And I love Steemit, so I'm not going anywhere - but the higher realms of the culture (much like society) strike me as somewhat bland.
I thought I'd give this edition a different spin. That's why I opted to use the more well-known ones, for the benefit of those who don't follow the comics.
I think you're right about your theory regarding the curation rewards. Oh well, can't win them all. It really is the Achilles heel, which is why I want to nip it before it spreads because I believe in Steemit's potential and it's a shame if only a few people reap the benefits. If I was a high earner, I would probably just have a cap of how much I'm comfortable with so that the love would be spread out more. But, I'm far from that threshold I'm seeking. It's always nice to have friends who share your sentiment! :D
