RE: The Evil Steemit Whale Bot Conspiracy: An Elite Crypto-Agenda For Minnow Domination, OR Sound Investment Strategy For The Community's Success...?
Not really. It's just that some of us understand how platforms like this work, and if they are designed in such a way to silence thousands of regular users in favor of a few rich whales, they will quickly stagnate and die.
The whales have a vested interest in all users. Without minnows the entire system would collapse. New users are not silenced, but have to consistently make good content to be noticed. Usually new users try a solid 2 or 3 posts and get frustrated and switch what they are doing. I started at the bottom like everyone else and learned from the many posters before me and networked to meet new people with similar interests. If steemit collapses, those with much invested have the most to lose. So I believe they are thinking up ways for everyone to have a bigger voice regardless of their current size in the ecosystem.
And before it finally collapses, they have a method for making tons of money off the ponzi scheme.
Minnows won't notice until the platform is already dying. Oh well, no skin off my back.
Enjoy your spam platform :)
See for this to be a ponzi scheme you would be forced to invest money. Find me another ponzi scheme that gives away money to people for joining and I will join there as well. And if you truly believed this, why would you be wasting your time here?
I know it's not a traditional ponzi scheme. That doesn't change the fact that it's entirely useless as a content aggregator, since only whale posts are ever seen.
This site is going to die in a matter of months once regular users realize that
1 - Content is 100% Stagnant: Only spam from whales reaches the front page, regardless of how many votes are given by regular users
2 - There's no incentive to post or upvote anything interesting because of #1
3 - Because of #2, people will leave
I get it: you want to ignore the glaring flaw because it benefits you. That doesn't make it a valid reason.
I love the content @stellabelle puts out along with almost everything @rok-sivante writes. If you read their articles and still believe that this site is stagnant then I would encourage you to find me another place where I can find:
If you can find those elsewhere please tell me. But I believe you are truly missing out, but the decision to stay or go lies solely upon you.
