RE: The Steemit $$$ Challenge: Prove To Yourself Why You Are Here
Nice and I agree who's here just for the hit and run, and who's here to make the Steemit community better and help it grow.. and become a part of the next big thing :D
I made some posts about Steemit being a new digital world and then another one about how "sexy" images are starting to ruin everything and how we can prevent the site from becoming a porn site..

Great posts, thanks for sharing! I upvoted both of them but have no idea how well you got paid on the first 24 hour payout. Isn't that interesting? Didn't change my vote, but I think it might have if my Stylish plugin wasn't running. I might have said, "Oh, cool, they got paid well, I'll save my vote for some new content."
Interesting indeed.
Why save your vote ? If the content is good , it shouldn't matter how well they got paid, no?
That's what's so interesting about this platform to me. Unlike other platforms where content that's older than a few hours is essentially ignored, old content here can be resurrected to popularity. Curation is rewarded because it's a valuable service to the network. If everyone just voted for what they like and didn't actively work to find great, under-appreciated content, we'd all miss out on something. I think we need both free, active voting and strategic, targeted curation.
Got it...so if i want an old post resurrected and i have enough swing i can just vote it and bring it back to life.
@royaltiffany: Yes, in theory... but you can only vote for a post once. Usually you already voted for your post once you published it. What you can do is use votes to alter the comments section a bit by voting for things you want to see spring to the top.
Well whatever they are complaining about , they should be more aware of the fact that , this site , needs exposure first , diversity second. And how do you get that exposure ? Why not a youtube make up tutorial ?! And the more people join, in time the power will be more equally divided. At least that's how i see it...
Can't reply to your last comment so doing it here. I am new here..and i am still figuring things out . I have seen so much content and comments about voting that i don't know what to believe anymore, i don't know if 2 months old posts are still right or if things have changed, so yeah. Thank you for answering :)
Speaking of targeted curation , is that what whales do , when they vote a post ? Like it happens with the famous make up tutorial that everyone is complaining about and i dont understand why they are complaining..
@royaltiffany:
For some, it's greed. For others, they are concerned with the centralization of power represented in just a few accounts. Still others want a labor-theory-of-value meritocracy where posts that took 5 hours to create with world-class content and commentary don't get ignored, but instead get highly rewarded.
To me, it's all an experiment. Who knows what we'll happen, where we're going, or what path we'll take to get there. To me, it's pretty damned exciting.
Your a rockstar man thank you I will continue to return the favor :D
