RE: Minnow Support Project: Problem Statement, Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Plan to help you grow from Minnow to Whale with friends in record time.
I think a big Problem is that newbies signup - read the first Postings and don´t understand how Steemit works
The newbie read a Post find it nice and make a upvote He see no Effekt because He have no Votingpower!
He write a Reply and most he get no answer!
Or an Upvote from the Poster
The better way as bots is that every Autor that have so much Votingpower must give an answer to every Reply from the little newbies and an upvote for every Reply from this! Because there are so much postings with 500 and more upvotes from the bots but only 10 or 20 Views Ok it is nice to get so much votes from the bots but a Reply from a newbie is so much more A Reply says I have read the Post as a human not a bot! So the newbies see the Effekt on his Reply He got 0.02 SBD or more for his Reply! Sorry for my bad english :-)
Well, we're working on that and trying to help!
