My opinion is that qurator is supposed to value quality over quantity and this monthly fee is basically pushing minnows to write garbage 7 times a week to get their money back at the end of the month.
It just makes no sense, and that's a flaw qurator had anyway. But I just thought "ok that's a bit paradoxal but hey, I just keep upvoting them and it will pay out anyway" .
Steembasicincome doesn't boast they value quality over quantity but they offer a weekly income so you get the same no matter if you write once a week or 7 times a week. Also steembasicincome calculates their bonus based on upvote weight, instead of that 0.01$ upvote strange rule... Because a 100% vote for a minnow costs the same as a 100% vote from a whale, right?
I won't go very deep with maths because I'm not good at it, but I know steembasicincome also pays for leases. I already knew from the start that their upvote would go down with the price of steem as mine and yours and everyone else. But they won't be changing the rules at the middle of the game.
In the end yes, I'll still get the lifetime membership, that's ok, a 0.03$ upvote and maybe with the new T1 and T2 upvote values I'll even go to the monthly fee, but it just feels wrong and unfair.
Thumbs up to @steembasicincome, which is now the best club on steemit!
It looks like they're keeping the tier 0 membership, so you should get your money back eventually. I'm sorry that it's been a rough ride for you. Keep at it and things will improve. It's back to just posting quality content and letting things happen naturally.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Thank you! I found steemit right when the price of steem was getting lower and lower so I probably joined on the worst time. But sure I'll keep at it! After all this is still MUCH better than any other social network!
Hey, it's better than FB, so we're already winning. :D
