RE: People who upvote but don't view
It's understandable. Steemit is a place where some people make a lot of money so others try to do the same by speed reading and such.
This is a flaw that can only be corrected by removing the rewards.
I take the time to read posts that interest me. Mainly cryptocurrency posts because I'm learning about and researching cryptocurrency all the time now.
that is the problem it isn't even speed reading I have no issues with those who can speed read and comprehend, it is upvoting for stuff they haven't even read. It could be something evil they are upvoting they have no clue.
By speed read I meant that they only read the title for the most part. Even people who view a post don't read it too often. This is why so many people leave comments which say something like "great post". They only leave quick positive comments hoping to get an upvote.
This is not a good blogging platform. However it does pay. Pennies are better than nothing and it's a good source for cryptocurrency news so I like it.
That might be just as bad when you put it that way. I love the platform I just think over the last few weeks people are joining not understanding the platform so they are misusing out of ignorance.
They're missing out...
What peeves me is when some of the same people will then start writing whiny rants about how this or that site is ripping them off -- which, imo, makes absolutely no sense when they're being given (free-of-charge) a place to express themselves and a chance to actually get paid for the privilege.
Finally, the people running the site end up closing down because this kind of SPAM is choking out the good-quality pieces from the places where they have the most visibility.
When that happens, the ones who caused the problems keep on talking about getting ripped-off by the now-gone sites.
That's too bad. Good chances are tht they've missed some gread reading and, likely, didn't make that much money, either.
