RE: My Concerns With Vote Buying Projects
-"We create content for our blog posts and if other's like the content, it's are rewarded with votes."
That's not what i see. What i see is whales posting content, any content and it gets instantly up voted to the sky.
On the other hand, you have new users trying their best, posting amazing content and it gets completely ignored.
Most obvious way to see this is to check the HOT section, you see some posters there with rank in the 60-70 posting 15 minutes youtube videos that get up voted in the hundreds of dollars within 5 minutes. They are instantly getting up voted without anyone even looking at the content.
Seems from my point of view that steemit is more like, scratch my back and i'll scratch yours. When you have thousands of followers it doesn't matter what you post it seems, you automatically get up voted.
I understand everyone started a newbie and build their following over time but that doesn't excuse the facts that some of the higher ranking member of this site are just up voting their friends without even looking at the content.
I don't think that's fair.
Well the thing is this system is Proof Of Stake(POS) so the more stake you have, the more influence you have on the platform. If large stakeholders want to vote their own posts and vote a select few, they have the right to do so. It is within the limits of how the system is designed.
You wouldn't just give money to someone you don't know in real life right? You would build a relationship and trust with a person before you give them money.
