POUNCING ON POSTS TO GET A TINY CURATION VALUE
Just using this as an example of the GAMING that is going on, a fruitless exercise that will ruin Steemit, as in this example you can see that 967 hundred curators have dived onto this post which is worth $372.10 dollars, thus the curation reward are heavily divided. This sort of thing is increasing even on useless posts and on good ones alike, often unread as its plain to see by the timelines that there is not enough time to have even read the good and longer posts, they too like rubbish posts that might accrue a value are just leaped upon and upvotd!
EXAMPLE:
Travel with me #98 : Ayada, Maldives - A Slice of Paradise!
Dear Steemit friends: For those of you who have lived in Beijing or Northern China for full year, you will know…
$372.10 - 967 - 231
Well gaming the system seems likely not to change; so maybe I should join in whilst it lasts....
Interesting point. I was wondering about this too, but I don’t guess it really matters, does it? I mean, the types of posts that garner much attention on Facebook for instance don’t always have merit, but then again the value is in the eye of the beholder. Steemit aims to provide rewards for interaction so who are we to judge which posts deserve the credit? Unless of course they are spam, which I assume would get downvotes so it would not work for them.
