RE: Proposal to make spam less profitable
Getting ignored when you're a small account is a rather common experience. So, thanks again for not being a jerk.
For me it is sometimes hard considering I write long posts which tend to attract long comments. Someone did the maths for me last week and in the previous seven days I had written around ~47,000 words with 40% of them being in comments.
I see it on a daily basis that even my puny $0.01 upvote has a positive reaction and gets the ones who receive it to engage more and invest into producing content.
The most valuable thing you can do for your account is to use your vote to support the people who take the time to comment well, even if it isn't much or even a payout. It shows some appreciation for their time and effort. It isn't meaningless.
All I ask is to take into consideration the guys like me when you make the proposals to change this platform.
Most of my content about Steem is helping guys like you but, it may not always look like it if you take one piece in isolation.
If you kill us off, you'll end up seeing STEEM having the same price as DOGE.
Didn't McAfee say Doge is the future. ;)
I'll admit that my knowledge is at best partial when it comes to the steemit as a whole. For example, until today I didn't even know you've existed and you're one of the biggest and most active guys around (~47k words in 7 days).
After rereading my comments I can see how you can interpret it as an attack on you (one piece in isolation), but I assure you it is not.
My usual experience is engaging with guys in a community where even $0.01 is nothing to sneeze at, in a community where members are waiting for $0.08 payout to clear in order to power up,... and there are you guys proposing to take that power from me :-)
Anyhow, it's time to get some work done. Cheers!
no worries, it was nice to talk with you. I am not shy nor unaccustomed to being questioned here for my thoughts. Take care and we can talk again some time.
