RE: Adjust Your Expectations: Steemit Is Designed as a Lottery

in #steemit8 years ago

One must expect variation in their payouts. I have an only retail business where I have essentially the same inventory in stock every day. Some days I earn over $1,000, and other days I earn just $2. Likewise, with Steemit, even though my quality of posts are similar day-to-day, there are extreme variations in payouts.

Curation guilds have helped to reduce the degree of variation, but it is still significant.

Sort:  

Oh, that's a great point. Markets are chaotic in nature, and we never know who will show up to our business and make it a nice day.

Curation guilds bring their own problems though. Some complain about the same authors getting the same rewards over and over again, while other posts get ignored. It helps and hurts, I think. I've used them myself here and there, but not much. My vote is around $0.02 right now, so I don't feel much responsibility either way. If it were more, that would be more challenging to deal with.
