RE: Why I Quit Steemit, and Why You Should Too
You're speaking truth here. I've been away on an almost 3-week holiday and going to dive back into Steemit in a big way from Monday. The price is very low at the moment but I've just put my money where my mouth is by making another Steem investment at the current price as I'm still confident it's going to go up once the current creases are ironed out.
Two things I believe:
+/-10 upvotes per day at 100% voting power is way, way too few.
The absolute flood of low-effort crap posters either need to change their game, or leave the platform. They do NOTHING but detract from the value of Steemit as a whole.
A future hard fork will hopefully address the above, perhaps by having all of a user's voting power spread across all votes made in a 24 hour period, with the cost and rewards divided by the number of upvotes made per day.
So let's say I have $2.70 per day to vote. If I for one post only in 24 hours, that person gets the full $2.70 attributed to their post at the end of the 24 hour period. If I vote for 10 posts, each gets $0.27 at the end of the day, and so on.
Might not work, but it's something that's come to mind recently while trying to think up solutions.
As for the slew of poor content, well, hopefully those users will simply leave when they grow tired of making $0.01 per post. Let's see.
give you have over 1700 SP, you do realize you can adjust your vote weight down using the vote slider? that way you can vote more than 10 times a day without excessively draining your vote power.
Yep, but I'm not talking about it as simple as that. There's a disincentive somewhere from the impression of how limited/limiting one's number of votes are. And many, I'd say the vast majority, don't have enough SP to see the slider.
true, but as I had described in my other comment below, that's also why I created and released the Minnow Post Vote Slider and Past Payout Monetizer Script a few weeks back, so that anyone down to around 72 SP can also gain access to the vote slider on STEEMIT.com!
