RE: Discontinuing my daily statistics posts
If his payout is zero, he's going to stop. Plain and simple. I've been there - I thought I had a good thing going with my old game theory series, but then the whale votes mysteriously disappeared and now it's been months since I wrote one. We put work into this platform, and if the work isn't rewarded, we stop doing it.
Yes, phil. When i think about it, i imagine something like a scene out of an old-style prison chain gang. MY, sweat pouring off his brow, breaking rocks with a small pick axe to extract the stats. A mounted guard with a shotgun, barking at him every time he pauses or slows down in the completion of his arduous task.
I actually liked your game theory series (It was one of the first things i read on steemit and I and didnt even realize it was you until i read this comment) but that took work -- composition. And it added legitimate content that would interest people. These posts are posts on steemit, about steemit, of interest to no one besides insiders and they take money out of the available reward pool
I'm not sure whether these stat posts are done with an automated program or MY pulls them out manually, but one way or the other, these stats are easily ex tractable and formattable as a post in minutes with little work and no creativity required.
Especially considering the timing of their inception, these posts really seem like an excuse to throw money at a user who has a lot of friends with a lot of vests. IDK if thats the case, but thats what the appearance is.
IMO, posts like these being actively taken to task is a good thing.
