RE: How to organically boost your post rewards.
Well there is an issue which I would like to bring up. Socializing with people takes time. How much is your time worth? One must ask themselves the question before a quest to socialize on these platforms. Without very significant steempower, even if you make 20-50 bucks on a post, is it worth it? The simple answer is no. Time is of such essence that the steemit platform should find a way to reward posts on its merits rather than who you socialized with. Social votes will dampen the platform just as much as ignoring good posts will dampen it. Does one want to upvote good posts or the posts of their friends? Steemit will have to make a choice sooner or later or it will be a victim of its own policies.
Totally agree with Ned! I’ve noticed many people have their “friends” things get voted on and the content may be crap. It then becomes a feeling of high school. It’s no longer content and haven’t we then missed the point? Like the term used “Team Australia” or “USA”. So then I feel pressured to join teams or groups instead of being recognized for having original material or being true to my content.
Thankyou. I think curation teams are the answer.
What is a curation team? Teams such as “team Australia?”
But who’s to choose what is a “good post” and what is not? A curator could choose a post or not choose a post based upon their own personal views. I feel building relationships talking with people in an organic matter is so needed it shouldn’t be a robotic transactions of how much money can be made with this how much money can be made with that it’s about sharing our passions and view points and ideas while receiving the perk of a payment to me my friend. And I think that’s what maybe is ruining the system is socializing or making friends isn’t worth my time making honest whole hearted connections with someone who doesn’t have a fat wallet isn’t worth my time. We shouldn’t live like this in our day to day lives never mind our steemit lives. I’m hear to learn meet fellow minded people and share stories, art, ideas... I think we need to change our views on only it being about fast cash now and long lasting and learning. I get the high school vibe situation and that each post should be valued when needed. But it’s like any social media plat form you post on IG and you have no followers no ones going to like it you need to build relationships. Story of life it seems
That's actually a good point. Is it a social platform where you can get paid for while doing socialising or is it a platform for informational content which you can be paid for? However, there is still the fact that any business takes time to build as you have to socialise in the form of advertising in order to get known. In which case, is the socialising is still investment in the business. 🤔
Also true that social votes will dampen as much as no votes, however, short of advertising how would they make the money to pay for good content?
Lots of food for thought.
