Just take a look at the effect that the @robinhoodwhale initiative is having on this post, don't get me wrong I like the idea, though it seems to be half working at the moment. Yes, it raises some attention towards the bloggers and their posts it also brings up a decent reward, however did you see anything change much after the post got like a 100 more votes and a reward closer to 10 SBD a few hours after it was posted and got "hit" by the RHW?
Just take a look at the people that have voted - some of the celebrities on steemit, some of the witnesses and other popular authors... yes, they do support the initiative and that is nice. Have you seen a bunch of new comments, do you wonder how many of these people have actually read the post... I do. Probably not that much, they were brought by the @robinhoodwhale initiative and just did their part in voting (it could've even been automated voting for some). That is precisely I'm saying it half works, but still even half is better than nothing... Steemit however does need more and unless that happens it would continue to be a place that hardly retains new good authors...
