RE: How to Fix Steemit Inequality
Sigh, another socialist suggestion. If the devs implement this, I'll just power down, and the money will flee the system, then no one will get anything.

What is socialist about this exactly? Or what is exactly the point of having 100,000 users if only 300 or so get paid?
Don't you think it would be a fantastic marketing opportunity to pay minnows more, which would create a chain reaction, giving us potentially millions of new users and a lot more investors?
People come to where the money is, and I think if more people would get paid, we could reach the size of Facebook within 1 year, just with this 1 feature.
It could boost STEEM price too eventually. It is a circle of success: more money paid out -> more users -> more investors investing ...
Because you are advocating the redistribution of voting power from those who have paid a lot of money for Steem Power (like myself) to those who haven't. That's socialism. It doesn't matter if I'm not losing the nominal value of my SP but you want to siphon away its effects.
Ok, but what if in return we get 10 million new users? Of whom a lot of people would be big investors, making the STEEM price go massively up. Would it be worth then? Your investment could double or triple.
We have clear potential here, and we only need active users. Imagine if things like SteemMarket would go viral, and would be integrated to serve 10 million users. How many billions of dollars would that bring to Steem?
Paying out users is the strong point of Steemit that differentiates it from other social media. We should explore this feature more strongly in my opinion.
So what would you suggest to make this a better place for everyone not just the select few.
I'm mostly fine with the way Steemit works now. I do have a few suggestions for improvement which I've posted in my blog. I won't repeat them here.
Ok Ill. go have a read, which post is it?
Ok since you asked...

I have read both, upvoted both but can't leave a message. I agree with what your saying about the flags members use I also think any ideas that helps the site grow and not turn stale a good idea too. There's not enough Whales, the site is full of new posts that haven't got 1 read. Steemit is not just for the Steem rich it could be doing a lot of good sharing about. I think if you have invested real money in the site then I think you should have a say how that money is used BUT being a minnow in a massive pond I have no chance of growing.
What the heck are you complaining about exactly?

"BUT being a minnow in a massive pond I have no chance of growing."
Your account has 389.669 STEEM, you have grown. You are not a minnow, you're are salmon fish or something.
Again, if there is another forum paying you more, then go there instead.
I wasnt comlaining, the I shouldn't have been there it should have said Minnows have a hard time growing. We dont have enough Whales to notice all the great posts that are going through without a read. I'm allowed to have a opinion. Seems when someone opens there mouth here and disagrees with someone with a higher rep there in the wrong. My opinion most minnows won't do as well as they should on here because they won't get the attention they need. The site won't survive with just whales voting whales.
