RE: The Asian Steem scheme! Thank you @ned and @abit for rewarding and delegating your SP to empower the Asians to line their pockets even more!
@thecryptofiend
I totally agree with you on "this looks bad and that it sets a terrible example to the ones who are starting out"
You're not an idiot to believe that integrity very very important! I hope they soon realize that this is pretty discouraging and hopefully it doesn't go on.
I finally got a few of my friends in and those are actually investors but with this kind of trend - I don't think it would encourage them to let even a cent out and buy Steem . I miss the old days back when its the post that matters, the effort given to it, the value, the interaction and contribution the author gave the platform regardless of race, colors and languages. I hope this gets turned around.
I'm just glad I reduced my stake in Steem. I did it in order to trade with a view to getting my stake up to at least 200,000 SP. Not sure I want to do that anymore with these kind of shenanigans going on.
That's sad! .. if those who invested aren't getting appreciated I won't be surprise if they all do the same but it won't be good for all of us. I do hope this gets turned around. Perhaps the next fork would fix it?
A fork isn't required to fix shady behaviour:)
That whole idea to get into Chinese/Korean market by upvoting/promoting some bloggers from these area is a complete bullshit. Some group of pampered, wine and dined (and paid for expensive traveling around the world while buying designer cats) users will have zero marketing effect on billions of Chinese and Koreans, even in crypto or blogging environment.
As usual, the old loyal Steemians are ignored and unappreciated while some undeserving opportunists from certain geographical area are glorified.
It seems that this platform, despite being anarcho-capitalist haven (greedy capitalists pseudoanarchists), it has also become xenophobic.
Financially discriminating and glorifying certain nationalities over others is nothing more but form of nasty discrimination.
I guess you don't mean the circlejerk tag or the makeup tutorials?
