RE: steemit is a energy sucking vampire profiting from your energy.. no free lunches people..
The content creators who see the larger picture outside of the money aspect are here for the long haul. They are in no hurry to make a million. They are holding back and/or have a backlog of good content. The people who are throwing everything out there are going to take what they can and at the first chance cash out. They threw out their best and only ideas. They are not true content creators. Unfortunately, this is not going to go away. 99% of posts will be fluff. Luckily we are dealing with a small portion of the population who somewhat grasp cryptocurrency. Even fewer truly understand it. That being said, I think it is absolutely critical that everyone up vote good content and ignore the fluff.
The issue is I vote on good content to expect no reward in return. I often see the content sees 5cents of rewards after a week. I often try to make a comment of my thought also. But to continue to see 10k it seems to be rigged and unfair for those whom spent time and effort. I do not know it hard to change group think. I think it is back to my favourite forums for me... As crypto investor , I make more about listening and weighing up people views. Yeah could sit here all day and waist me time plowing the posts to collect a couple of dollars. But really it takes one small trade of ten percent with good information.
I agree with you. The content thing is messed up. I'm taking it slow cause I have other things I need to do like making a living. My time is very limited and I can't spent hours sifting through all the rubbish. It's going to take time for this thing to evolve. And I see it getting worse before it gets better. But I really do believe this kind of platform is the future. In theory, it's an ideal platform to show my art. Steemit may end up falling short but another platform will come along if it does indeed fail. I don't think the whales are going to vote down the bad popular content this early in the game. They are interested in building momentum right now. I suppose rewarding people for tits and makeup is the cost of doing business. Hopefully, things will change for the better. I'm willing to put in a few minutes every day to vote on good content. I just hope everyone will do the same and not get discouraged.
