RE: Booming Support: time for new Application process
I can only share my opinion if it comes to who invests in this platform since that is -what should count most for a platform based on Steem.
What we all want is that Steem will grow stronger.
To me, investment is:
- Buying/sharing and even spending Steem (how else to promote it if we can not show how spending is done just like buying and selling?)
- Leaving your investments on Steem is a risk but many do and see it as an investment for cases in need or the future. If they have to power down this is a bad thing because? If they still write, upvote, and engage they are committed.
- Upvotebots are bad? Several times I asked why and no one explained it to me. To me, there's no difference between delegating to an upvote bot or a community that gives an automatic upvote. They use an upvote bot as well and if it comes to communities we never know if they will take the money and run.
To me, WOX is one of the most successful communities with a clear topic which is admirable and makes them visible to those who search for a certain topic.
If it's the desire of WOX to be able to give Booming Upvotes I think it's not more than fair they can as well. No matter where or how the Steem is achieved it is invested in this platform and the members of WOX are active in many ways.
With you, I hope the Steemit Team will reconsider who to give these Booming votes since it feels as if those who invested most always miss the boat while those who invest less receive the profit (I read the link earlier)
@ wakeupkitty
Thank you for your feedback and to tell the truth for many who invested in Steem we have the same opinion, from beginning on we stake our own finance and we continue to keep what we have and not sell, removing the Steem from market, that is what is important less Steem on market the higher price will be. Bot system will give an interest for investors and we know that any investor is interested in profit, let them use the bot and enjoy their profit.
As to curation of users, it is not necessary to give a "whale" who gets $100+ for a post even more upvote with any Steemcurator account, it is better to use such votes for really good posts and for users who also invest in Steem but with their skills of writing, producing Visual Art, maybe other skills DIY, cooking and etc.
It is good to give everyone a niche where the person will feel comfortable and have an interest to stay and also to stake Steem into Steem Power.
By the way, thank you for your words about WOX, we are active beyond our community and also we support users all over the platform. I am glad that by now it is well known to many and we always happy to welcome anyone to join us.
I see hte feedback from SC02 and very pleased to know that there is much to come 😍
Congrats on your feedback from sc02. What you just wrote should be a topic. I hope you can write it and explain what an upvotebot is (names) how it works, and the pros and contras - feel free to use a part of the text you just wrote.
I am looking forward to reading your topic only if we show, and discuss there's room for change.
Thanks and also for the idea, that sound interesting and also would be interesting to know the idea of others :)
