RE: Why Do Smaller Accounts Support Those They Complain About???
@taskmaster4450 Thank you for the shout out and professional breakdown of my post. You are great at your craft.
To whom it may concern I wrote this post after HOURS of data studies. I came to the conclusion that this platform has a system that requires polish but a lot of us here are scuffing our boots on the floor in the meantime.
I originally started on this platform of May 2017. After a month of posting and not gaining any traction I left. Thing is I didn't leave because I wasn't making money, I left because I could even get a single comment on what i considered solid content and would see 100s of interactions on a picture of a apple.
I came back in Feb learned how the system worked and PAID the price for increased influence. After doing so I came to realize that not everyone was in the same position as me so I started a initiative to give back to the community. Provide good content and interactions and I would upvote resteem and comment as well. I planned to dedicated 15% min to quality new content and awesome interactions in my own post.
Then a pattern appeared that had me write that post. I would put a post up and 20 comments would accumulate but only receive 7-8 votes. Ok no problem maybe I did not earn said vote, but no If you dig deep that same account just full power voted a Meme from a whale account.
So I asked myself Why the hell am I upvoting comments just to have those same accounts go upvote some random flower pic. Now the question becomes, do I share the wealth or via trickle up effect give it to the whales.
This I am not decided on but I am a lot more selective with where my vote goes.
So @simplymike yes you may have a community that supports each other, but trust and belive your group is the Enigma not the Norm.
No problem on the shout out since it was your post that inspired this one and where I got a lot of the information.
Perhaps I should have mentioned in my post that you did spend a great deal of time delving into hundreds of different posts to gather the data for your conclusions. It was not an off the cuff post by you.
STEEM will be a top 5 token as long as we lead the world in apple pics.
That is an under served market...
No problem my friend, It's a touchy subject that needs to be confronted. I am all about equal equity, you get out what you put in.
Unless its Apples, that is a severly undersold hidden gem for sure.
It’s a shame, ‘cos it should be.
My life on SteemIt exists of almost nothing else than working with the communities to help others. Of course I knew not everyone had those same ideas, but I think I forgot to look a bit further than my own ‘world’, in which everyone is volunteering, and that I didn’t see the big picture anymore...
