RE: Adjust Your Expectations: Steemit Is Designed as a Lottery
At the casino or the lottery, I know it's a game of chance. On Steemit, it's not completely random. Some people with power make choices and direct trending. I think that's what many people are asking about. Is the choice of votes logical, rational or simply gambling?
Why do some people, some tags voted by the same people are still in the trending? Is there some collusion?
Can such behavior bring confidence to investors and new users?
Since 4 months, the number of posts has not increased significantly despite an increase in new users ... and yet Steemit can be an extraordinary product!
Excellent point. It's our perceptions which cause the most frustration and people are seeing some correlation between what they view as quality and payouts. When that correlation breaks, cognitive dissonance abounds.
