Solutions for Frustrated Minnows and realization of Social Justice in Steemit. [Response to @stellabelle's post]

This morning I woke up and first of all came into the Steemit World. Yesterday I wrote my thoughts about the system of "loyalty points", aimed to help Steemit to grow more faster and more stable. And here I saw a post of @stellabelle [A Questionnaire For Whales And Solutions For FRUSTRATED MINNOWS: Comments Are Needed, Don't Have To Upvote], which I have great respect for her sincerity, genuineness and responsiveness.

Also a matter of respect and gratitude that @stellabelle thinks about the Minnows, about the new people who join the Steemit Ocean. Yes, the problem she's trying to solve do really exist. I see it too, as for the present I am the Minnow. The problem is that people are frustrated with not getting enough attention and monetary compensation for their posts. And this creates obstacles to the development of the entire social network, and fills the Steemit World with negative.

Her post generated a great resonance and I will gladly try to answer on her initiative. I will share here some ideas, which may be useful for the entire Steemit community. At least, I really hope so. 

I agree completely - it is discouraging.
I'll be blunt. This system sometimes (more and more) reminds me on the real world economics. 1% of people is holding on to 99% of wealth.
We know very well that this is not sustainable in the long run.
The write and be happy mantra won't help I am afraid.
Your suggestions are valid. You care deeply.
Let's see the reactions of those your questions are aimed at.
Pareto Rule.
@ervin-lemark

20 - 80. Pareto rule.

I reflect on how to improve the Steemit World. And knowing the Pareto rule, I understand that such "unfairness" will always be. In the "real" world and here in Steemit. 20% of people will get 80% of monetary reward, and 80% of people will settle for 20%. But why is this so? What is the true cause?

The cause lies in the different abilities. 20% of people much more talented and intelligent than the rest. And that's normal. That's fine. This natural phenomenon is impossible to change.

The key difference between an animal and a human.

The key difference between an animal and a human is explained very simply.

Strong man helps the weak. But the strong animal eats the weak.

That's all. This is the essence. More developed, talented and intelligent people are supposed to help the less developed, less talented and less intelligent. This is the essence of a human and humanity. If 20% of the people who are the most developed, do not help 80% of people, they actually lost their human essence.

What is social injustice?

This is when the animals principles apply to human society. When the elite (20% of the most developed)  exploits so-called crowd (80% of the less developed). That is a strong human lives at the expense of the weak one. And this is the essence of social injustice.

What is social justice?

This is when more advanced people help the less advanced ones. That's what manifests humanity. If I see someone less talented, I help him to become more talented. If I see someone poor, I help him to become more rich. If I see someone failed in what I've achieved success, I help him. This is true social justice.

So what are my specific proposals.

1. "Family system". The Mentors.

We all come into this world in some family, in some environment. But in most cases in this Steemit World we come alone. And this complicates our adaptation. If we assign a mentor for each new person, and this mentor will support this newbie, it will make life easier for many new residents of Steemit World.

• So we could make a list of mentors, that is, people who are willing to help newcomers.
• And novices will choose a mentor from the list.

The mission of the mentor is to support the actions of the novice with votes, suggestions and useful feedback. In particular, the mentor may publish the materials of his ward, just as @gavvet, @jacor, @dragonslayer109, @crazymumzysa and others are doing now.

Mentor gets special privileges, special status, i.e. reputation. The mentor receives no money for his help to the beginner. That is, the mentor acts as a parent. This is true human nature. Strong, advanced people help the weak, inexperienced.

If it is in our community, we will have every right to say that we have implemented social justice.

2. Monetary support of new people.

At the moment, newcomers very difficult to get the money. And you can certainly argue that money is not important, let them learn to make friends and communicate, let them build reputation. However, money is a very powerful catalyst, it is a very powerful tool that you can use both good and harm. According to Robert Kiyosaki, and I totally agree, when the money is used in the educational process, learning takes place much faster.

Once again, the humanity, and therefore social justice is that strong care about the weak. And social injustice means that the strong live off the weak. In other words, when the strong exploit the weak.

The Support Fund for beginners.

The idea is to form a Fund, which the more successful people of Steemit World will fill with money that will then be distributed among the newcomers. Those who are engaged in such charity will receive some "charity reputation" points (angel investors idea). It would be great if Steemit software to highlight such people.

This is similar to how parents feed children. Or how developed countries help underdeveloped. This is the true essence of human nature and the difference from an animal. And this is the essence of social justice. Because social justice is possible only in a society where humanity is manifested, where the more advanced help the less advanced. If instead of compassion the animal psychology would be shown (the strong eat the weak) then what kind of social justice can be said?

Reading the comments under the post of @stellabelle, I met some wonderful thoughts which are worthy of mention.

1. The idea that each Steemian has the opportunity to sell his products and services.

An ecommerce Content Management System powered by Steem, similar to Shopify. This would allow people in the community Steemit to easily set up shopfronts and sell products. People could buy products with their hard earned Steem, or could 'star' (favorite) products via by upvoting. This might also give boutique shops an additional revenue stream.
@pkattera54

It is, in my opinion, one of the key ideas of long-term future success. If we want to create the economic system, we need a market for goods and services, that is infrastructure. This infrastructure will make Steem Dollars valuable.

2. Open Source Ecology and tests for beginners.

By the way, I live near that Open Source Ecology location. And I studied the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage model to learn how to live peacefully among others. They use a very healthy technique which is this: you live there for 6 months and then the people who already live there get to decide if they want you to live there or not. This is necessary to keep a group free of dangerous elements and those who would do harm, since the isolated nature of the group makes people more vulnerable. That system works well for them I believe, since most people who are not ready for such a commitment, end up leaving anyway. I followed one guy who was mentally unstable, and watched how he ended up leaving Dancing Rabbit because he felt he was not mentally able to deal with that kind of new life.
@stellabelle

This is a great topic. These mechanisms of adaptation is natural and useful. It would be great to somehow use them in Steemit.

3. About the content quality. "To create the burger and sell the burger".

First and foremost, I can't stress enough the importance of quality content. Additionally, I think it's critical to educate people to the basics of steemit etiquette before trying to teach them how to monetize the platform. I encourage whales to support this idea, or we'll forever be dealing with a massive learning curve from new users.
@xvickx 

Yes, this is a great topic. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Human society - a society in which the strong help the weak. And this is education.

However, the quality of the content is not the most important thing. As you can obviously see McDonald's does not do the best burgers. Many can do much better. However, who can sell as good as McDonald's? Many Steemians are creating amazing content, but it remains unnoticed. But those who have gained a reputation who has created a brand, receive a substantial reward sometimes for a very ordinary posts. In any case I don't claim it's unfair. No. This is fair, because to build a reputation, to build a brand - much harder than to write good posts.

Thank you, @stellabelle, and thank you all the Steemians, who are not indifferent to the fate of the project.
Let's continue to look for the best solutions!
