RE: My Initial Perceptions of Steemit!
Thanks for voicing your concerns @jinmi17 - I think about this everyday too. The way I see things now is that while $ being such an incentive, thousands of minnows are voting for dolphins and whales, hoping to catch their attention and earn nice curation rewards. However, I believe this way of voting is pretty much useless as things stand, as curation rewards for minnows voting for whales is next to nothing. If minnows only voted for each other on their posts the balance would shift to some degree, and then more and more. I think it's a mindset problem and a misunderstanding on how to make the most of one's vote. I'm three months in here and am still scratching my head about what's going on too. Cheers @steemmeupscotty
And P.S - Have a read of this post which gives great advice on voting strategy :)

WOW! So much to know...Thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome - steem on! :)
Actually, (not trying to self promote or anything) but would you mind weighing in on this thread here for me? (if you have any info that is) I'm a little lost with regards to this.

Just read it + the comments. I believe like a few mentioned, that it has to do with the fluctuations in the value of steem. I think there are still payouts but they're too small to register as steem cents, but you might see them as 'vests' awarded which will contribute to Steempower. But to be honest I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think it's something along those lines :)
Hmmm...Thanks man, I'll have to keep an eye on it. I don't seem to be getting any payout from some of them whatsoever though it just dives from a few cents to absolute zero haha but at the end of the day, I guess it's only a few cents anyways.
Yeah - but if you find a solid answer, let me know, 'cause I've kinda been wondering about that too ;)
p.s Get yourself in with the minnow support project over on Discord to give your posts a little boost now and then.
EDIT - I think I'm right. I checked your stats over on https://steemd.com/@falsefreedom and there are a few payouts like this where you can see exactly what's been awarded but too low to register in the $0.00 on-screen parameters.
Oh ok cool, thanks for your help man! I'll keep on that :) I'll check out the minnow support project too, sounds promising. Thanks again mate!
No worries ;)
Don't know how I missed this! Thanks for the information.
As I stated in the opener, I'm sure my understanding now has an ignorance component. The information you provided should remedy that. I appreciate it.
No worries :) It's taken me 3 months to start to get my bearings. Swimming around in these deep and murky waters ain't easy for us minnows ;)
All that's required is the willingness to swim!
:) Damn right!
