RE: STEEMIT Down Vote Should Be Done Away With Proof Is In The Numbers
Don't think that down votes have anything to do with people not staying on steemit, in fact they can help drive away users that just come to abuse the platform and not to contribute to it. Even if there are not than many new users or not everyone that signs up initially remains, it is still better to have a slower growth with better quallity than to have an uncontroller rush of spammers and scammers that can actually drive away much more of the existng users that want to stay at the moment and be a long term part of the community.
Don't take this the wrong way, but how long will you continue to write articles for .20 or less an article?
I'm not taking it wrong, but I did not come here for the money. I came to try out the service at first, then liked the community and decided to invest time and effort in seeing it grow better and more useful. Though at this point I'm not sure how that went I'm still trying to contribute my part in making things better. Sure, nobody would refuse some extra money for the time spent here, but if a user comes only for the money and making money is his/hers only goal on steemit, then this is probably not the right place for that.
@cryptos I replied to his post before I even made to down to yours and saw you were making the exact same point drawn from the same conclusions. +1 to you for taking it the right way.
@razorwave people spend all day on Facebook and Reddit for free.
If you're here to strike it rich you're on the wrong platform and your time would be better spent working a 9 to 5 job. Incentivizing posts with crypto was never meant to replace your day job. A lot of the people making the money here are also doing a lot of the work. I'm not saying there aren't posts that win the so called "lottery" as I've seen it referred to but most people blogged for free long before Steemit was around.
Believe it or not, some people actually do it for the love and not for the money...
