RE: How many active Users with influence has Steemit?
Hello,
I kind of understand where you are coming from. You joined 2 weeks ago just like me with 10 SP. I am one of the "lucky ones" according to your theory as I have $849.56 at the moment though I do not know why you chose the $800 limit. Why not the $80 or $8000? But that money did not just appear on my balance. As you can see I did not post a lot but those were my own original thoughts with my own pictures. I am not saying yours are not your own originals! My author rewards roughly $52. That is not a lot but I am very grateful for that. I have not written since because I did not want to write just for the sake of if or for the money. How come I have $850? You cannot just invest your time, effort in steemit to make it succeed for all, but also your money. It is a startup. If you believe in it there are other ways to increase your voting power. Transferring a few bitcoins for your steemit account would do the trick.
I chose 800 $ because with your vote you can change something. With less, it counts not much. Yeah, we should discuss this. Do i need always own pictures or is it ok to use free resources? Do i really need to write only my own or is it not good to share information i found useful? Good points, we should talk about.
I do not think you need your own pictures and I also have seen "copy-pasted" content to earn some dollars too. It is really up to the community. If they like it you will be doing fine. You can see some crazy money here just as in real life. Steemit mimics the real life well I think. You might know some hard working people earning peanuts and ones who does not seem to work nearly as hard earning more. But that is life and this is not always the case. BTW, as regarding my curation rewards I have earned 0.392 SP ($1) so far so I would not consider the $800 group quite influential.
then the group with influence is much smaller. Just 700 accounts. This is really concerning. I will look into it on a regular basis. The expectation is, that this will get better over time; I think this will not change a lot. 700 accounts are 1.8% of all accounts.
Let us say you create a business with your hard earned money and your precious time. It grows huge. You become the biggest shareholder. You are the whale in your own company. People get interested and want to contribute to your idea so they jump in. Would you give away your shares for the newcomers for free?
