RE: The Steemit Gift Economy: What is it all about and what can you offer?
You got me thinking. There is no where you go on Steemit, you will see this post has being Upvoted by so so and so.
Is that what Steemit is now all about. Paying to get ur posts Upvoted.
Don't get me wrong. I do pay too cause I have no option. In a country like mine, we do whatever we can to make money as long as its legit.
How I wish there won't be to much gap between whales and minnows
I will always be grateful to @darkflame for the plans he has for me and @bullionstackers for #whalepower.
Thanks to all who wants the best for we minnows.
I'm grateful
It seems to be the case indeed to get some rewards, one has to buy it. TO be honest, I've done several test and I don't really see a net result from buying one of the 3rd party upvoters. Some give for free, but then again, with many of those upvotes on your post, you for sure will miss out on the possibility for curation guilds like curie to vote for your post. Their vote is worth around 100$ to 200$, much more than you get from the boosters. I personally give lower or no vote to those posts having many boosters called in. It is not a rule, but more and more I check if boosters are used, and by whom; When they are self voters, then the post must be really really really good for me to cast a vote. Not sure how others are in the community, maybe they don't care and give a vote after all, but I can imagine the people with more power and rewards to give, are a bit more critical to what they vote for.
