RE: Live $1800 Steemit Upvoting from 100% to 0% Voting Power on June 24!
I support you. Now there is such a policy that many release 50 posts a day with plagiarism content, for example in the funny section. Earn not bad money. And I, for example, spend on writing one article 2-3 hours and as a result my posts are not the worst, but they collect $ 0.15 each. But I'm holding on because I have motivation for my business internally, and not just motivation for money
I'd have to agree with this. I'm not claiming to put in as much time as you do as I just have other commitments at the moment, and I don't expect large upvotes on my posts anyway. But I see people (rhino, for example) posting images from Pixabay and getting decent sums of money for doing so when they didn't even take the photograph themselves. And I wonder why people are bothering to upvote this when good content seems to fall through the cracks and it's clear that they've put absolutely no effort into it.
I think it's ok for people to vote for content they like, for whatever reason. I don't go to pixabay, twitter, fakebook, imgur, etc., and if I see content here, where I do go, that I like but wouldn't have otherwise found - and it's properly attributed, so not plagiarized - I show my appreciation with my $.02 vote.
I also spend hours on comments, and posts, that I neither expect financial reward for, but share because I believe it's important. I just recognize that not everyone can do that, not everyone wants to do that, and sometimes not doing that is the right thing, so just look for folks doing what they, and I, think is the right thing to post.
Am I wrong?
Yeah, well put. You're right, people have the right to vote for content that they like. I don't necessarily have a problem with it if it's referenced well and of interest. And you're correct in that there is some brief content that I wouldn't find elsewhere if I didn't see it here. But sometimes it's evident that's not the case and that the motivation behind the post or series of posts is purely financial.
I'm on the same boat. I have a few good articles I did back in college and would like to publish them here but I'm holding back until I have a larger audience that is following me. If you do what you love he money comes along!
Exactly what I was thinking yesterday. The spam with stolen memes, videos or images is disappointing.
My first post took me at least 3 hours to research and write. It was buried within half an hour with only 3 "views". It's very difficult for newbies without a lot of followers to get noticed. I think the secret is to build up followers through comments first. I'm sure there are other tactics as well.
