RE: Time For A Minnow Uprising: Overwhelm The System
The vast majority of people do not want to join or be a part of a social media site that insists on people spending hours to create a post! This thinking is a huge part of what hurts our retention.
Let people post casually and the votes go where they go.
I agree whatsup,
I will speak here down below just a bit in general about the concept of letting votes go where they go.
Something that YouTube has learned me is how much of your earnings comes from the videos that doesn't seem to be making much. But they all add up very fast since nobody counts the little income streams. 0.01c may seem like a little but it's huge and adds up very fast over time. This is a shiny gold coloured 10 cent euro coin.
Look how beautiful it is. Sometimes whatsup clicks a button and creates this but on the Internet! If you can visualize the real money in your hand the physical then you will see the wild value the small sums adds up to.
This is a 1c euro coin.
Can you see how it also has a charm to it. With not a gold colour but a lovely bronze colour. Almost a bit noble. Took energy to produce this. Remember this Minnows. Those tiny votes add up and have massive value!
Not telling people how they should vote. Just saying lower quality content which isn't promoted is likely to get less votes. It's discouraging to post and have no one engage or upvote you except bots. Maybe suggesting minnows comment or curate more of each other's posts as oppose to chasing whales is a better solution. Tiny votes do add up but you are more likely to attract votes and friends if you are producing quality. Some quality can be produced in 20 minutes or so if you take some photos and already know about your topic.
Yes promotion is very important.
You're right many people are too busy or lazy but that's why they aren't rewarded as much as people who put effort into quality. I don't suggest flagging anyone or banning them but I am definitely not alone when I tend to unfriend low quality posters because I don't want to see junk clogging my feed like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit or most of the internet for that matter. The beauty of Steemit is it is customizable and you can choose to be annonomous yet still be heard by like-minded individuals.
I agree with what you have stated. Let the votes go where they may, I am not saying they should earn the same as those making creative, interesting posts that create engagement!
It's not an hourly job.
