RE: Trickle Down Steemincomics: How Steemit was Systematically Designed to Enrich a Middle Class
I still believe that after more experience in the community here, a minnow that grows into a tilapia may start to feel the self confidence that comes with being able to positively affect content that they care about, instead of just voting for content that has already gathered a lot of Steem Dollars. If this starts to happen for a lot of people -- that is a good thing. It could mean a stronger "middle class" on this site.
Yeah I definitely believe that there will be growth not only in funds but in community spirit that will drive the site. If we take people on reddit for example, they post comment and vote on memes and other things partly because there is a sense of community on the site.
Yeah I think part of the natural transformation of the site may be that more and more people will be just commenting because that's what they do -- and then that natural behavior gets rewarded, which is really a cool thing. Some folks have written posts about how one of their comments got $1,000 SD and it was just an off-hand comment that they kinda forgot they left.
I think you nailed it with the community spirit. There are multiple reasons for every fish in the sea to be doing its part. Great work once again, I even put a link to this one on my latest post. You've got a great attitude and insight. Did you ever get that gooseberry girl? Or have you found something better to do with your time? ;) Keep up the good work!
