RE: Hey Steemit Whales, How'd You Like To Fix All Of Steemit's Problems And Make Bank By Doing Absolutely Nothing?
You make the assumption that the ”minnows” necessarily deserve money.
This is always my biggest hangup in regards to this topic.
The vast majority of the minnows here produce absolute garbage. That’s a big reason they don’t get support.
Steemit is not supposed to be anybody’s socialist utopia.
When it comes to the Trending Authors here, we probably agree, so that’s the reason why I’m not diving into that right now.
It just rubs me the wrong way when people seem to insinuate that everybody deserves to get paid just because.
Also, it’s still possible to make decent payouts without the use of upvote bots.
By using them, you’re obviously supporting them, so it’s hypocritical to complain about them.
No. I am saying that I want to create an additional way for good writers to earn money from here. Not all minnows.
Agree that there is a lot of garbage, but even if they were to get “support” what would that look like? A $44 upvote from @curie once every two months?
Hmm. I wasn’t aware of that. How exactly are you supposed to make consistently decent payouts without bidbots as a new account?
My proposal would allow a fresh account to start making money from day one, assuming they are approved as a contributor.
Brother, I can use something to my advantage and still see that there is a better way. And I’m not saying to get rid of them. This is like saying, “well you still haven’t divorced your wife, so it’s hypocritical to complain that she’s fat.”
By networking. The nepotism can be seen as a problem in and of itself, but the problem (or ”problem”) of nepotism spans the entire scope of life, not just Steemit.
I don’t see a way to eliminate it.
And I personally upvote my friends, too. As do everybody here.
Some of the heavy hitters just have friends with more SP.
But if one wants big upvotes, he needs to network with the right people.
I hear Steemfest is a good place to suck cock.
Yep I guess you’ll always have a little bit of that. My posts isn’t a call for a revolution. If anything it’s mix between an open letter to high SP accounts and business proposal.
I’m in this to make money like everyone else. But with this solution I tried to think of a way where more people win and there is no extra work involved. Except for me. Which I don’t mind to do because I’ll control the account. If it works, then it can be expanded.
As for sucking cock, I prefer to get my protein from other sources.
I’d also like to add that you’re not supposed to make it big on social media ”from day one”. Stuff like this is hard.
We probably agree on a lot of stuff when it comes to the problems on Steemit, but I’m just giving a different perspective.
I made $0 at the beginning consistently, but I was new, so I didn’t complain. That’s how it goes when you’re the new kid in school.
Then I was in the triple digits, but pissed the wrong people off, and will probably never make anything substantial here ever again.
But I knew it going in.
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m creating a solution that will let people earn reliable income from writing REGARDLESS of their reputation on here.
What do they say? When one door closes, another opens.
We have different philosophies. I see zero need for something like that. In fact, I find all Steemit posts to be grossly overrewarded, including mine. I’ll take the money since it’s there, but looking at it objectively, there’s no reason for anything here to earn a cent.
But that’s just me.
These are not regular steemit posts. They are niche articles that represent the whale’s brand. There is a massive market for articles in the world. This is not something I made up.
Think of it like a gig marketplace where users are paid a fixed amount out of the small part of the reward pool that a given whale controls.
It’s a business. Not a charity.
