RE: Draining reward pool with auto-votes by @dana-edwards (73 reputation)...We must stop it!
The fact is that good messages do not really get a decent payment. I'm afraid the reason is not in automatic voting.
It is one of the reasons. When somebody see same people getting auto-votes all the time and their effort pennies, they just give up.
If you are talking about @dana-edwards...It is because top upvoters on her posts are always the same.
But people have invested huge sums in the project. They want to get some of their money in this way. Would you do otherwise?
You want to say her auto-upvoters invested money in Steemit?...If so, she don't need to write nothing beside letter A, receive auto-votes and they have their money back.
@cmoljoe you have a valid argument and she is also in the right. Honestly, this point of your definitely adds value to steemit for a minnow like myself. I am only on steemit for 2 months now and as far as posts goes that is why I have not given up on posting. I don't expect everyone to say I have good post and I am new and all I know is upvote bots and auto upvotes etc... I was not here when they didn't exist so... I would love to be on people auto upvote that to me is a milestone for her and she deserves the recognition from her fellow Steemians. We all do who don't give up and keep posting things of our interest. Your post is very good @cmoljoe keep posting about what you feel will make steemit great again. I will be following with a bowl of popcorn.
If we notice someone is abusing reward pool, we must react. My opinion is that Steemit can become amazing platform, but before we must resolve issues like this. No question about it...few sentences and reference link are not worth 25$. I don't care if that bloger wrote million amazing original articles before.
Why not be worth $25 if her followers say so? But you have a very good argument because I would want to post what I like to discuss and if there is an audience that agrees with it I would want their up vote as token and if every post made $1000 why would you limit the amount of times you communicate and post if limit is unlimited? I wouldn't so I don't think it is fair to say she is doing a disservice when it is the opposite. A follower of hers even gave their personal point of view and their actions and I respect that. I also followed her because of your post. You made a really interesting post and I followed you too.
From 25$ it less than 1$ from manual upvotes, all the rest are auto-votes. I don't agree she is doing anything special to community. Posts she make can be do in 20min. Maybe I try to pretend I'm her and post 15+ articles per day just to show people how easy is do what she is doing.
