RE: New Media Platform, where Good Authors get Good Reward for Good Content. [Let's create it together!]
Spiral Dynamics!!
Unless someone is friends with whales or funds their own account there is no money to be earned here. At least not how this platform is presently constructed. Posting quality stuff isn't always about money to everyone. But if money is the goal, most people are better off not investing much time into this.
Sadly, just like all of crypto in general, most people on here will never see any positive monetary returns. It's a good thing that other avenues in life exist!
In the spirit of optimism, I'd like to affirm a bold YET. (lol)
Does the 'in general' infer that BTC is the exception? Sadly, as you say, millions put it all on the line at $16K only to watch it drop to whatever it is currently, with a loaded promise of 'to the moon.'
I agree, without a plan to grow the funds money isn't going to be a strong suit. However, I have to believe that behind the scenes there are plans to change this. I remember @ned's 'Freudian slip' or accidental heads up when he recently spoke of SMTs in past tense.
Either way, Steemit remains the only platform paying to post. I'm a witness that the pennies add up; and, can be spent, held, or invested in other crypto.
Peace.
Yea, in general means all of it. I see both sides of it. Some will get big rewards, some ok rewards, and many nothing. I like this platform and still think it's worth posting on, or I wouldn't. And I'm with you on the pennies adding up, they totally do overtime. Especially as the value rises.
Yes...I usually don't put the effort to do as most whales advise: Take your gains.
I have to be ready to do this in the next helium pump. ;+)
Best regards.
Peace.
I am also here to say, I earned pennies at a time, but I didn't take them out they grew! I kept posting and earning...
For sure! It comes down to what expectations are for everyone. As long as someone is ok with pennies and still enjoys to post and engage with the community, then power to them.
Most high-quality content in the economy of web content is worth pennies. Nobody pays to read content and everyone wants to be a blogger when they grow up. So, earning pennies or a couple of bucks for doing what a lot of people do for free is a big deal. Those pennies earn a form of interest with the inflation when we print new steem stakeholders get a bit of the new steem to offset the inflation. In addition, curation rewards go up, self-voting once a day goes up... That is how the system was designed to encourage people to hold.
For sure. They do add up.
Wow @whatsup. I have to say I've dallied with my pennies...put a few in BTC, powered down a few to sit and stare at me in my account as I haven't cashed out.
If you played the tortoise race, it's quite impressive to see your rank. May your post be an encouragement to many who are teetering on the precipice of giving up on STEEM.
Best regards.
Peace.
I am guided by a deeper idea. When an author creates content, he creates the product. This product is hosted on the platform, similar to the retail store hosting different vendors. For example, Auchan. Auchan itself without all these suppliers is just a building with empty shelves and cash desks. People won't come there. It's obvious. However, thanks to suppliers and their products, people come to Auchan.
So vendors do Auchan. They create Auchan. However, Auchan does not pay these suppliers for the fact that they actually create it. Similar with Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter and so on. People create content, publish on the platform, the platform receives money for advertising. But without these people, without content, without filling shelves, these platforms would never have earned on advertising. This is obvious. Therefore, in fact, Auchan, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms should share their profits with those who have invested their work in them. This is true economic and human justice.
The more this justice will be implemented in practice, the more inspired will create copywriters for such platforms as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and so on. Moreover, the best product will be supplied by suppliers for such platforms as Auchan.
Everyone who creates the final product, who is involved in the creation of the company, should profit from the sale of this final product and be co-owners of this company. This is simple.
In this sense, hired labor is a fraud. But the fraud, to which all already are accustomed. After all, an employee does not just perform his little task, he creates a company. Without his labor there is no company. That is, as a result of the hairdresser work, for example, people will be cut, but there is another result of the work of the hairdresser - the company. The company, the brand that will be created, that will be known, that will attract people - this hairdresser has invested in the creation of this brand, this reputation. However, at some point he is fired, and the brand, the trust of people, the reputation that he has created thanks to his work and talent, he will not carry with him. The company is owned by the owner, or several owners. And this is also a fraud. People create companies, so companies should belong to people. How?
Through a system of co-ownership. Work must be measured and evaluated. From this assessment, everyone can understand how much work he has invested in the company. So he can calculate what share of the company he owns. That is, what part of the profit he is entitled to. That's how real justice is realized, which is able to inspire people to full creative disclosure. Otherwise, if a person feels that the result of his work (company) will be taken away from him, he will not try hard.
