RE: A case for eliminating curation rewards
I looked to the voting on posts as a measure of progress
This is a good point. In a usual social media site your circle will grow organically and you have to engage a lot in order to get votes but on steemit you don't have to, you just have to be lucky. It's like a lottery. And there is no way to measure progress because you posts will either get pennies or tens of dollars, there is no organic growth its a flat line ( luck/no luck/luck/no luck)
Thank you snowflake. That explains it perfectly.I can now tell friends and family why there can be such a discrepancy in posts that receive similar number of votes but wildly varying rewards.I'm not sure yet that I see this as a positive as you do,but I like Steemit, so onward and hopefully upwards.Cheers.Ivor.
